Hi everyone. Please, can someone help me. Nara, my border collie (3 yrs), has done well and has obtained her novice title. I have been training her for open work, and she now knows all the work. However, I now feel that she has almost 'retired' herself. She gives me the impression that although she will do the work, she is saying "I don't want to do this mum". I entered her in her first open trial two weeks ago, and although did all of the work, she lagged so much that I had to wait for her to catch up to give the signals. Naturally we failed BADLY. I have not trained her since (just played with a ball, but she doesn't seem interested in this now.) She has been trained so far with a clicker, but I have stopped it, as I feel she needs to lose some weight, so have cut out the treats. Please, please, can someone give me some advice, as soon as possible. She has always been such a wonderful, willing worker, but now, just doesn't seem interested. I do not know which way to turn.
