I agree about putting ...Puppy pacifier! How cute!<br /><br />I agree about putting things aside for a while. Why ruin things when you can take a break and come back to it refreshed and possibly with a different perspective. I have to do this a lot as I learn with my dog.

My three BC's are so different and training them has been an adventure in learning how to motivate.<br /><br />I've done such a good job of calming Moon down I've broke his ON switch training an off switch.<br /><br />Molly is working well these days. Solo has his moments, but I haven't found (other than food) the one thing that is his "thing" and it drives me nuts.Debra Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13455047894767524091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13583344601572543.post-41657673681079660082010-02-26T09:27:20.243-06:002010-02-26T09:27:20.243-06:00wow great honest post Loretta.

So i stopped with that, and quit worrying about her breaking, and things got better, and FAST again.<br /><br />when i was teaching her weave poles i once tossed the ball past the last pole and beaned her in the head, she wouldn't weave for 2 days ... then i started using a soft toy ... sigh ... yes the visual is funny.<br /><br />something i learned from Scott when I started herding with her to boost her confidence, and that I have applied for Agility too is "let her be bad, to be good"<br /><br />they are complicated creatures. i know great things will come for her!!!!!<br /><br />sorry for rambling :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15016760952371821331noreply@blogger.com
