[nagdu] walking in to objects

[Hannah Chadwick]

Tracy,
I honestly don't think there is a pattern of situation but it does seem to
occur in unfamiliar places. I do obedience training with her every day for
at least 10 minutes.

Hi Hannah.
I think you should look for a pattern of situation, not necessarily timing.
Is there something happening in the environment that could be distracting
her?  Is it usually in a particular location, or type of area?  Are you
heading to a particular place?  Is there something happening every couple
weeks, besides Princess bumping you into things? For instance, maybe you
usually go out in the morning, but every couple weeks you don't go out until
the afternoon, or usually you go out every day, but every couple weeks you
don't go out, say, Sunday, then Monday she bumps you into things?

The remedies I know are the same, regardless of the cause, but, if you can
figure out if there's a cause, it might help you solve the situation.
The remedies I know are the ones everyone knows--reworking the mistake. 
And maybe a bit of daily obedience wouldn't hurt.
HTH.
Tracy
