I think I will check out the park. He's just turned 6 months and that's the minimum age that you can bring a dog in. They do have a small dog side so that's covered. Hopefully with being a paid park 1) not that crowded 2) well maintained. |
Then he would definitely love to fetch on a long line! I had to teach Jackson to fetch. He would do it inside for about 10 mins but wasn't that interested. So I kind of had to train him to do it, and would reward with food every time he brought it back. Now he loves it! Like I said, I have 3 acres, and we're on a hill, so I just attach him to the 50ft line and use the Chuck-It and he goes a'runnin'. It's great exercise for him, especially the running up hill part. Sometimes we go to a local park (football fields, baseball/soccer, etc) during the day when barely anyone is there and I play fetch with him there too on the long line. So you could always see if there's a park like that.
I think I paid about $15 for a 50ft yellow rope leash at Petsmart. There is all different styles though. We utilize quite a bit, it's awesome, off leash yet not.
