Gaining Some Focus

Last week I was stymied by the loss of focus my lunatic Ceilidh was exhibiting at Agility class. I attributed it to the presence of four new dogs in class. Last night was a little bit better, but that new Border Collie thing just makes Ceilidh nervous! Our instructor did quite a bit of lecturing last night, which Ceilidh hates, so we had plenty of time to practice some quiet behaviors while we were listening. Sits, downs, stays, spins, touches and even Ceilidh's famous dance got a workout! But I think it kept her focused and eager to run and jump. She's still not sure about that Border Collie thing, though...
