I have gone into Starbucks, but not a sit down with menu type of establishment that takes more time than a casual coffee. I will have to get on top of Bball before the season ends. Great ideas!!!

I would say that basketball games...Movies are good! I would say that basketball games are also good, I took Meeden to one and was surprised that she was uncomfortable with it. The echoing in the gyms and the cheering crowds are a really good experience for them. I would also suggest bowling! The sounds of the balls and pins is a really good training experience. I took Heidi and at first when I went up to bowl she was really interested in the ball and wanted to chase it. By the end of the night, she calmly stood next to me while I bowled and ignored the ball. It was a good distraction outing(may be helpful: we started in a down while I bowled, then tried sitting, before standing. This helped her keep stays better to start with). <br /><br />Also going to a restaurant, but rather than just going in normally, drop some food on the food on the floor to work on leaving food. Another puppy raiser told me that with one of their pups they were a restaurant and the waitress accidentally spilled a bowl of food right in front of the dog. The dog completely ignored it! So it would be good for them to get used to food dropping near them. <br /><br />Hope those help!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3120612464438241057.post-86820924575060062892012-02-09T19:09:39.110-08:002012-02-09T19:09:39.110-08:00Carlin - those are great ideas too!!!
