Just not very well. :lol: We attend a 'small dog training weekend' twice a year, and she has told us we're not ready for pre-beginners yet, so we enter Companion Show obedience instead. He had his first show of the year yesterday, and although he didn't get a place he did all his stays - last year I don't think there had been one time when he'd not broke one or the other. He suffers from a lack of attention during heelwork, so although he stays with me, he wanders about sniffing the ground and the air and ignores me! The judges suggested we spend some time practising in busy areas, but I think he's always going to want to investigate new places. I am wondering whether to leave doing our round until near the end of the day, so he's had time to investigate the place to his liking, or if he'll be over-stimulated by then, or too tired! Being a companion show, we normally enter the novelty classes with him as well - he does much better at those!
