Here you can find also several old cars and trailers for the training and also piles of rocks and stones. Furthermore, the dogs must go upstairs by going up a great open iron stair. Here is the second floor training area. We have many objects in this area which occur many times in reality. We have a conveyor-belt, a lot of couches, a lot of cans and other things that make noises, a kitchen block, lockers and suitcases. We have also the permission to use woods, old factory grounds, parking places, shopping areas, fabric halls, train station etc.. to train our dogs.
