It is heartbreaking to be in the ring with your dog when he's stressed/anxious/or just not happy, especially when he is not normally like that. :( <br /><br />I think the idea that Phoenix is not comfortable with strange dogs in the lineup makes a lot of sense. <br /><br />Confusing and frustrating indeed!Jennifer H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18122918066456934977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901844543243405919.post-66213132617284611172010-09-06T17:07:18.767-07:002010-09-06T17:07:18.767-07:00Aahhhhhaaaaa!

Isn't it amazing how confusion sometimes will make us think about other things we've probably been told by our dogs but were small enough we dismissed? Hard parts is 'practicing' that theory as we most always practice with people we know and dogs that our dogs know.

In a way, it's great that he held his down, but so confusing as to why he broke his sit.<br /><br />Even though I technically have Layla do her stays in the group, she's separated a bit. If they're all in one row, she'll be on the parallel row. Close to them, but not IN with them. I do that more as a courtesy for the other dogs; if she breaks I don't want her distracting the others. Maybe that would work for Phoenix? That's one of the things they talked about at the Terri Arnold seminar, make sure they 100% understand what they're supposed to be doing before you add the stress of other dogs in the mix. Just in case that's part of the problem, maybe it'd be worth a shot having him do it separately. It would only really work in the classes you teach or matches, you never know.Amy / Layla the Malamutehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17483472323529793052noreply@blogger.com
