Socializing to new places is important in order to show your dog the rules apply everywhere you go, no matter where you are. Being able to practice these skills in new settings adds great mental exercise, leaving you with a nice tired dog who is happy to be by your side. Lucky Hazel got to show off her manners at the beach. She holds her sit from a distance, which requires lots of self control, especially in a new place this exciting. Good girl Hazel!
