New Question
How do I figure out Rafe’s head? He
works well in training, then gets to a show and loses
focus entirely—sometimes just wanders off to visit
the stewards or look at dogs outside the ring.
Fortunately it was just practice. Corrections don’t
make a dent, so I don’t bother. Right now my only
idea is to make him start over every time his
attention strays at all.
It is clearly not a “lack of brain” problem, since he learns things quickly and
understands the exercises, just seems to have no sense
of responsibility about working. Being beautiful
apparently is sufficient.
Cheers!
