Zoe

Ceilidh was the exact same. She could do everything perfectly but after the 3 weeks of the class she was fed up of doing the same things so just stopped altogether!! SHe had been the best in the class too which made it worse when she refused. We have had her sitting and lying down from day one of having her and she knows perfectly well how to do it but just refused in the class! Maybe try with his favourite toy instead of a food treat? Ceilidh got bored of knowing she could get a food treat every time so when you try with a toy she responed really well, apart from barking when I began to do "stay" with a toy instead of food. Now responds to both types of treats really well.

Karen, we were practicing our rall with the firsbee yesterday and she brought it to me several times and gave it to me easily so i think we are making good progress, thank you so much for the advice. I keep working on it over the weekend.
Does anyone else find that their girl picks training up better when they are in season? This week she has been so quick off the mark it is unbelieveable. She was never slow by any means, but this week it is almost as if she knows what I want her to do first time. While she is in this kind of mood I will cram in as much as I can over the weekend!

Great pictures of Ilka, she is looking much more grown up now. Ceilidh is starting to lose her puppy features now and is filling out more I think.
