I have an idea for people who need a dog/people free area to walk their dogs without distractions.
Full Question:
Cindy,After reading an article about walking a new dog in an area without distraction, I wanted to give a recommendation.
I take my 4-yr old GSD for a one to two mile walk each night through an industrial park near my house (too many stupid owners whose dogs 'just want to say hi' in my neighborhood).
Yes, we have to get in the car and drive a couple of minutes, but we NEVER see people or dogs. Occasionally a police car will pass by and they might stop and chat for a few minutes, but for the most part, they just drive by and wave.
If it is available, it's a great place to walk and not be bothered.
Cindy's Answer:
Good advice Mike, thanks for writing.
I also have been known to load my dogs up and drive somewhere dog free in order to avoid the dog owners who won’t control their dogs. When I visit my parents I load my dogs up and drive about 5 miles out of town to a big park that is almost always deserted. Their neighborhood is packed with houses and random loose dogs, it’s just not worth it for me to walk my dogs there. I’d rather drive a bit and have a relaxing walk.
The industrial park is a great idea.
