Field Work and Outdoor Dog Obedience Training

I move training out of the living room and into open fields. We work on focus, recall, and real obedience where the distractions are real, not just inside your home.

On the grass field, we practice close-contact heeling to keep the dog's attention on me while walking. After the work is done, we switch to a game of fetch. This teaches the dog that listening to commands can also lead to fun rewards.

It is important that a dog can perform in any environment. Here, we are doing the same heeling and fetch drills as on the grass, but on a dirt field. This ensures the training sticks, no matter where you take your dog.

Our large, open fields are perfect for letting dogs run and burn off energy safely. I use this space for long-distance recall practice and high-energy games. This is a key part of their daily routine at my obedience bootcamp.

About Field Work: Obedience and Play

Most trainers stick to indoor sessions, but that is not enough. Your dog needs to listen when there is traffic, wind, and open space. At my Chikkabanavara facility, I run these drills on actual dirt tracks and grass fields to build real endurance and focus. If your dog gets distracted or pulls on the leash outside, this is where we fix it.
