I live in metro denver, It takes about an hour to get to my training area when the traffic is good. When we get out there to work I want to spend some time at the training grounds. I only have two dogs, a seasoned dog and one going through FF right now, so only one dog to work right now, soon it will be two. I will usually work him for like 30-45 minutes, and then put him up.

how long should I let him rest between workouts. Would an hour be enough? I just hate driving an hour to do a half hours work, especially with gas prices.

I will place a poll.

Flexiability is the key - know what you want to do but don't be upset if you don't get it done - read the dog. Some dogs can do back to back setups, some can not. Keep in mind a dog doesn't learn squat if its physically or mentally tierd.

I like the "Train by the tail...." comment.
