Obstacle Course
Setting up an obstacle course for your dog training exercises can be beneficial to your connection with your dog. Training your dog to go through different obstacles increases your dog's cognitive ability, human connections, ability to follow directions, and learn to use their body in different ways.
Obstacle courses do not have to be fancy. You can use any safe platforms or jumps to teach your dog to move itself in different ways following your direction.
Here is a video of Stonnie Dennis using his obstacle course to train dogs and use their minds while following human instructions.
