Our local park and common is directly at the back of our house and there are lots of opportunities for Faro to experience new things as the area includes a stack pool, childrens play areas, large field, canal, woods and a disused quarry. There is a bridge over a brook which we can wade through and various other little bridges over water plus fishing pegs, paths with different surfaces underfoot, open areas, secluded areas and of course, plenty of strangers, kids and dog walkers!
We certainly don't want to do all of these in one go! Faro's first trip to the park offered the following:
Walking in new areas
Walking over a long wooden bridge
Sitting quietly at a bench watching Lucian in a play area
Two strange dogs approached and had a good sniff
Standing next to the stack pool and watching lots of ducks and geese on the water
Fine gravel path approaching a waterfall (Faro barked twice to alert me to the sound of the waterfall)
Grassy areas and tarmac paths, narrow paths and wide open field
Over a small bridge
Watched a canal boat go by
