more inside training options

OK, so with all the agility equipment in the "training room", what normal people call living room :roll: I couldn't quite do any heeling in there. I started looking at my basement. Big, open area, but crappy flooring (cement). I had several old 6 x 8 area rugs, not very fancy but fairly "stiff", put them down and gave myself some room to doodle. I should probably get some double sided tape so I can make it them "stick" better so I can do a little jumping. Not high, but enough to practice the retrieve over the high at lower heights at least.

Anyway, I was sorting through stuff to make space and so on I realized I had an old bed stand with a mirror. Good enough to let me see if a dog was in position. I cleaned that up and put it on what end. Che ran up to it, saw his reflection and started to bark :roll:

Even with the lighter days and nice weather it will still be wet and mucky outside for a while. It's snowing again today in fact.

I'll try to get some pictures later this weekend.

What I wouldn't give for a basement that was just that. Mine is used up 99% in living space. Well, 50% human living space & 49% canine living space :lol: But that would mean another floor because I'd still need my "walk-out to the dog run" kennel. :( I guess I shouldn't complain. Hubby lost his workroom to the kennel a few years ago. :lol: But he gained a new additional garage outside strictly for that so not too bad except it's COLD in the winter!
My basement can barely be called a basement. Cellar would be the correct word...

Old farmhouse. Stacked stone foundation. Dirt floor. Old cistern takes up one half of it.
Result - just a trap door from outside to change the filter in the furnace every month or so....
Scary tornado shelter at best!!! 8O

But - I just ordered a set of new weaves and I really hope to be able to use my outdoor space by the time they come next week!!

Kristine - we actually dodged the snow (not the cold, clouds and wind though) and have a brisk sunny day today. Hardly helpful as I work all weekend. :( :(
