We are very fortunate to have three enclosed paddock areas to work in. This is important to really embed a behaviour, such as recall. As part of the learning process, dogs and their handlers can practise an exercise in a different paddock. This means we can keep some factors the same i.e. the people and the dog and change one element at a time i.e. the location. When the behaviour is more embedded or proofed we can then move to another location. We use a woodland area, am area of moorland and a town setting locally depending on the needs of the client.
