Marcy wore me out this morning.

We got to the park and she forgot everything she's learned. Ran up to people and jumped up on them, then followed them in the direction I wasn't heading. Wouldn't came back no matter how much I called. Had to chase her down for 15 minutes before she finally listened.
After that she behaved pretty well but I was tired from stumping along for an extra half mile this morning.

Looks like she hasn't "learned" yet. But it will come in time.

But I feel for you. I know what it is like to have to work harder than you were prepared for. Danged dog---you said, "come on, we're going to the park", and she said "good, maybe I can tire you out". They are sneaky that way.

The second day of Layla's first agility trial in June when she just looked at me and took off running around the ring and I couldn't even get her back and a lady from the audience had to hand me her dog's ball to get Layla to come..... The shame is just dying down from that. The day before she had even placed first in one novice event.

Back to the drawing board, I will just buy a new drawing board when we ware this one out, maybe they have them on eBay, LOL.

Dogs are wonderful though! Good luck!
