Well, I decided after Missy's fiasco at the agility trial, I need a little more control over her.
So I'm taking a Novice Ready class with her. I've always called her my 'bad dog' because she's just a little wild and out of control. I now have to rethink that. It seems she can really settle down and do some nice heeling. Her stays are terrible, she stands or comes to me at anything out of the ordinary. Obviously as confident as she appears, she needs to be more comfortable on long stays.
She has a great stand-stay, but the exam part causes her to melt into a white puddle on the floor. Right now I'm having people walk up to her and feed her on the stand or walk around her. I need to make sure she doesn't practice the melting behavior.
Her agility is improving, I can't see it, but my instructor says she is getting better.
