And I agree - Sit Stay is the much harder exercise so impressive that he didn't break that. His sitting up from a down definitely sounds like anxiety - maybe you subconciously got stressed during the delay and he picked up on that? I know with Honey she definitely "shuts down" when I get stressed - I can get such brilliant performances out of her during normal training sessions when I don't feel under pressure but then she totally loses it in performances and I'm beginning to realise that I'm the one whose different - I can see myself in the videos, lookingf really tense & taking deep breaths before we enter the ring - I'm sure Honey picks up on that and she goes all subdued & slow - which frustrates & stresses me out even more and so vicious circle...<br /><br />Anyway, well done and good luck for the next trial!<br /><br />Hsin-YiAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09116997529248428606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7360711630366485930.post-7002565886904459732010-03-01T09:38:32.638-06:002010-03-01T09:38:32.638-06:00What a happy heeler!!

I'm not sure what to tell you about the stays in general. Would it help him to move a bit, as in do left or right pivots, or something... between the sit and down?Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14197638620155711291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7360711630366485930.post-16178570912998712052010-02-28T19:15:23.916-06:002010-02-28T19:15:23.916-06:00Wow, congrats on all the great stuff Lance did thi...Wow, congrats on all the great stuff Lance did this weekend! I don't know the answer to the stays, but from what I've seen on your blog, you are a very creative and patient dog trainer, so I know it will get figured out. :)Muttsandaklutzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05551047401085562752noreply@blogger.com
