Love great parks, like this one in San Ramon!
Large, wide, long distance fetching on lush green grass. This is a public park in a development in San Ramon, CA, off Bollinger Canyon. Notice the key ingredients to a successful park:
1) Fresh water access, dog specific bowl as well, shielded from the heat, water was cold even though temperatures were floating near 100 degrees.
2) Shade, trees, maintained grass
3) Public accessibility, parking, easy parking
4) Trash and recycling bins
One thing I didn't see was the availability of doggie bags but I hadn't ventured to the other side of the park with the playground or public bathrooms and bbqs. These compostable bags are a luxury and grateful when I see this at parks - also promotes owners to pick up after their dogs because believe it or not, picking up after ones dog is not a default behavior for noob dog owners.
Stella is coming on her third birthday and still requires continuous exercise daily, be it the two ball or two disc (seen here) routine. She has matured greatly but still exhibits S.A. though simply the "doberman whine" not the destruction that comes with in premature stages. My youtube video on doberman separation anxiety during Stella's puppyhood (11 months old at the time) has over 75,000 unique views now.
