When you are going on a walk, if you use the cheat of going to the park, then home, please note that you do not get any trainer points, and your stamina does not go up either.

When you are training, it is best if you train in the correct locations:

Obedience: At an empty park or at your home. The home is best if it is only the dog you want to train at home. If you have 2 or 3 dogs in your house at one time, it may become annoying when your other dogs pounce or bump into the dog you are attempting to train.

Agility: At the gym.

Disking: At an empty park (make sure it is empty because the other dogs will try to grab your disk from your dog and such).

Remember that your dog preforms at it's best when well fed, watered and clean. You get 2 points added on to your overall score for grooming your dog before you enter it in an obedience trial.
