Sophie has always had a KILLER startline stay. We've worked very hard at it, and she's nearly always rock solid. At the start of class, we're doing a short sequence and soph is drifting off, sniffing and not focussing. So I leash her up and return to our seat, giving her a brief time out for lack of attention.

For the rest of the night, she would NOT break her stay when I'd give her the release cue. Amazing focuss, ears and eyes forward, but would just lean forward then correct herself back into her start-sit.

She's a very VERY sensitive soul, but stuff like this really illustrates this. ray:

Awww she didn't want to do it wrong again...she is such a sweetie

 

[kaytris]

She's very special.. I hope I'm worthy of her.

I think we're doing another CPE trial in July (the 6th),in Flamborough, if you want to come watch (this site is crowded though, so best to leave your pups at home....

COOL!! I'll totally have to get out there! That's the day before this dang cast comes off, so I wouldn't be able to bring puppers anyhoo.

I'd love to actually get out to a "real" agility trial though, I've only ever watched it on TV and at event demonstrations. Never an actual competition.

you'll get to meet at least one icelandic sheepdog too! I have terrible ring nerves, so either I'll be hiding from you or distracting myself by explaining it all to you... not sure yet. Regardless, don't be offended ...

Explain away!! I'll have tons of questions if you're up for answering them. Just ask Susan, I peppered her with obedience questions at the trial on friday.

If you need to hide though that's cool. I'll be totally content to sit and take in all the action. 8)
