Ground Work for Dogs

Teaching dogs to organise their body by leading them through a series of poles laid on the ground, over different textures such as matting, wooden boards or raised surfaces such as a low level walk over board helps to improve co-ordination and focus. It encourages function of the brain and is excellent for providing necessary mental stimulation without over exciting the dog. Even the most hyper of dogs settle and seem to mature with these simple exercises and it is perfect for dogs that cannot be walked for long distances or allowed to run off lead to burn off excessive energy. By improving self-carriage the dogs learn greater self control and self-confidence.
