You are not alone! ...TSD Coach, I feel your pain! You are not alone! I also have a 12" dog who can beat the Big Time Teams on a good run, but then on other runs she mopes around the course like I am carrying an electrified cattle prod. :( Sometimes I know for sure what is causing it, like fall/winter-weather trials where people are crowded around the sides of the ring in big puffy jackets. Sometimes she is hot, and even though she will run around in the backyard at 100mph when it is 100-degrees out, she doesn't feel like giving it her all for whatever reason. And sometimes, who knows?!?!?<br />She has been doing agility for 4 years, so this is not a green dog thing, this is just How It Is. This is a rescue dog who plugged in all her brain synapses all criss-crossedly and haywire before I could get to her and make sure she didn't turn out all schizo. I'm still always brainstorming, and trying to come up with some new ideas on what to do, always trying to keep it super positive and feeding into my dog's obsessive frenzy that can so easily tip over into Seether.<br />Haven't found the greatest solution yet, but just wanted to let you know that you AREN'T ALONE TSD leader! I know exactly how disappointing it can be sometimes, but keep plugging away! If I ever figure out the magical potion to multiple-personality brilliant diva syndrome, I will come back here asap and share the awesome secret.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21924162.post-46814373372857422812009-09-06T23:24:11.667-07:002009-09-06T23:24:11.667-07:00Oh, Otterpop, why must you torture Laura so??
