[nagdu] Downtime in class

[Vanessa Lowery]

Amen.  Each time I go back to TSE, I greedily value my downtime.  I try to spend time playing wiht the dog, and frankly and takin power naps.

Hi Tonia.
You mentioned you plan to do some contract work during your downtime in
class.  I just want to give you a word of caution.  If you take some work,
don't make any promises as to when it will be done, or tripple the time
you think it will take.  Even when I wasn't busy with actual training,
there were lectures to study, grooming, play, and just plain resting.  I
got my first dog more than 30 years ago, when I was a lot younger.  I
don't remember how much I needed to just plain rest my brain then, but I
definitely do now.
Also, if you bring work, be ready to drop it at a second's notice.  It's
easy to get involved with something on the computer, and, when you finally
surface, your new puppy has torn his blanket to little bits, or pulled the
blanket off your bed, or any number of other puppy tricks.
I like to play computer games, but I don't think I'll play any during
class.  It's too easy to zone out and miss something I should be noticing.
Tracy
