Dog training needs to happen in a variety of locations. Even more than humans, dogs learn in connection with specific locations.. even the difference between one side of your living room and the other can matter in how well a dog responds to what you ask of him or her.

The Seattle Humane Society's newest dog training class, Manners About Town isn't your typical dog class. First of all, class meets in a different location every week and you never know who might show up – rowdy kids one week, distracted shoppers pushing carts the next. I caught up with the group this past weekend in Bellevue's Robinswood park.

Can you imagine your dog on a sit-stay outside the fence at a busy dog park? Or focused on you, practicing a distant down on the edge of a playground?
