as handlers we tend to handle like we always did with that experienced "expert" dog. Hard to accept that the old dog is no longer with you and why that green dog is not getting it.

I have Penny is beginner agility and I am struggling with the "why are you doing that? why AREN'T you doing THAT!?" I look forward to us getting a connection.

While I am struggling with my "experienced" dog who is struggling with distance work to get those last few successful runs to earn that coveted ATCH that we have been working towards for so very long.

And then there is my little old man Riley.
