Motivation Update

Using the toy for motivation is definately proving a winner. She seems to do a lot better now keeping her focus on the course & me, rather than what all else is out there. Biggest challenge now is for me to get my directional commands out quicker - or that is, say them period! I tend to not say them, and Mocca does know what they mean and the DO work on the odd occasion I get an "out" command out of my mouth during the course. Have to realy try hard to work those in. Our other biggest challenge (mine) is just confidence. Mocca has confidence out there, but I lack it - I think it goes back to high school sports. Agility is really a sport, and somehow or another all the high school sport trauma is in with Agility leaving me with not much confidence. We will work on it though!
