I have fun with Ella & Bear using a Kong ball and a Kong on a rope, both are pretty focused on their own toy.
I'll march around the field doing left/right about (into and away from the dog) turns, halt, change pace, Bear will follow me sideways away from him, and can stay at heel going backwards. We'll play fetch, which then becomes a bit more disciplined -they aren't allowed to go after the toy until they are looking at me and I give them the command (either individually or both together).
I'll then call them off the chase, at which point I might recall them back from the toy, do a sit/down/upsit/stand, or I might release them to go after the toy.
At the toy, I'll put them down, bring them back one at a time, stop them halfway.
I'll hide their toys and get them to seek. If I've thrown it and they've lost sight, they'll run in big fig of 8 to pick up the scent.
At the min, I'm trying to teach them go left/right so that I can direct them to the area of the toy.
Locky get's to wander and do his own thing !

Brilliant stuff Michael. I bet your dogs just love exercise/training time, as it sounds so much fun.

She is a gorgeous girl, and your photography is brilliant. Are you a pro?
I think it is a great idea to make up your routines as you go along, that way the dog will never get bored

A pro? Oh i wish!

I would say i was a beginner with a bit of experience and a good eye for a good shot!
