[NAGDU] Fell, again

[sheila leigland]

hi, you are a long time dog user and you know yourself and your 
capabilities very well and you also know your dog. I hope all of the 
things you try work well. I know with Tres it took me months of work to 
settle him down and yes he still needs occasional reminders to focus. 
I've noticed with tres that he works better alone with me than with 
others around. He tends to get interested in them instead of focusing on 
his work.it's worse when my sisters are around.lol.
