She does enjoy herself tremendously. She boarded at our trainers this past weekend, and Tim took me aside and said, "You want some free advice?" I said sure, and he said, "This dog is a field trialer's dream - she wants to go far, and she wants to go fast, and she wants to go NOW. But you gotta get a handle on her." Apparently she was VERY naughty at the trainers!
So we started collar conditioning as soon as she got home . . . Tim said I needed to use "Thump Therapy" but a high 1 or low 2 on the collar worked pretty well. I think she was just trying them on to see what she could get away with.
Interesting - it could be she was just conning them, what’s her behavior like most of the time at home. Realizing of course, puppies are just generally out of control some of the time (I think their brains don’t fire right :) )
