We have a group of sometimes as many as ten guide dog handlers who all
live near each other here in Kansas City, and we do a lot of activities
together. We have gone to the theater, a ball game, hiked the trolley
trail, helped each other out with work related issues and yes, let the
dogs run together in an enclosed area. I would love to look more in to
the organized dog games possibilities.

You know I think that would be a ton of fun.
May have to think about that.

Have any of you thought about holding a dog romp in your area? I have
had one in a friends fenced yard. We invited well behaved assistance
dogs and puppies in training and let them romp and play while we had a
picnic...everyone brought a dish of food to share and than we shared
some
clicker training information and suggestions and had a game or
two...where
the dogs had to play...
Tic-tac-toe was fun...each dog had to sit/stay in the square for a
certain
time so that the team got the square... and the teams who's dogs did the
behaviors well enough to get the squares in the row win...
We do not put out any toys that may be become a problem with guarding
and
possessiveness. We had some children's play sets in the yard and it was
fun
watching the dogs go through the tunnels and up the slides on the
platforms.
The younger less experienced dogs tried to follow them...
Great company and a lot of fun.
Best Wishes & Wags,
