Tonight was the last night for agility training for a while. We are going to be working on obedience. I sure hope this will help us. I am beginning to believe that Toby would rather be in the back yard barking at all of the people and cars in the alley way. This is what I call a fish bowl. Lets face it. There is a fence between Toby and the outside world. Just like there is glass between a fish and the outside world. I was so hoping that Toby was going to be a great agility star! Something has gone terribly wrong in our training. I hope the obedience is going to help.
I always thought that a tired dog was a happy dog. I thought taking Toby for a 3 1/2 mile walk this morning before I went to work would be all that was needed to do to help Toby with his zoomies. Nope. Did not happen. He decided that he was going to make up his own coarse which he did. He seemed to have a blast. I didn't. My next step is to do obedience with Toby for a while and hope that this will snap him out of this self rewarding thing he is doing. Maybe tomorrow will be brighter!

Obedience will help! Don't let him get away with this crap. Patience woman!!! Toby will be a star if you work with him and just be patient! He is trying to get the upper hand and you can't let him.
We've talked about this at length so I'm not going to rag on you anymore or beat a dead horse, I'm just going to say that it is fully possible for you to work through this and you'll be fine. Just relax and ENJOY being with your dog. He needs you to be calm and clear right now. :-)
You and Toby will be great! All of us have/had obstacles that we are working on overcoming. I have to be really careful not to show pickle that I am getting frustrated or else everything goes downhill- thats something that I think is always going to be there. Once you guys find your "groove" everything is gonna fall in place. This is my theory and I am sticking to it :D
