Thanks Lisa but really it was the sausages wot dun it  ;) :005:

She was very well behaved today, she did try to pull herself backwards onto the plastic sheeting but no where near as much as normal.  I think she must have been reading this thread  :lol:

Thanks, I train with her for 10-15 mins every day so everything she does at her training classes is normally 2nd nature to her which is why I panicked a bit when she stopped doing it  >:D

However she was great today, almost as if she knew it was her moment  :005:

Of course since then she's come home and eaten the hand off a power ranger and chewed a hole in my son's sock, but hey, that's life  :005:

congratulations on passing!   :D  That is a lovely pic of her with her ribbon.  Well Done!

Is she still finding sitting still difficult?  This probably seems silly, as she is getting the attention she wants...but...have you tried doing things with her whilst you are sitting still?  Like...sit/down/stand sequences.  Giving paws, rolling over, etc.  Little tricks to keep her going, and help her realize that sitting at the side doesnt have to be boring? 

I would agree with the others...maybe go back and teach her stays again.  And make the reward for completing a stay huge!
