I know that look! Your stories remind me SOOO much of our Corgi, Fanny. She's also done herding, now we're doing Novice agility...and we also struggle with really responsive "sit" and "down" (especially when the food isn't in sight as a bribe.) When you do come up with a solution to that particular Corgi attribute, I'd love to hear it! Cinco | Jack | Fanny | Ellie | Chip | Deacon

It's funny meeting/hearing about other Corgis and how they're all so similar! We have been working this week on a good down. We do two or three short training sessions (about 10 minutes) and then also have him down on play time. We haven't tried to get him to sit from a down yet, so we'll see how that goes. He's doing really well so far. But, like you said, it's a whole different story without a bribe! He just sort of looks at us like "what's in it for me?" We looked into agility but decided to try herding first because I don't know that he's ready for the formal obedience the agility clubs want around here. Most often they want the obedience done before even starting the first lesson. How did Fanny like herding? Conan is from show lines so I'm not expecting him to be quite as intense as the Border Collies and other working lines we see. But I'm hoping if we work enough with him we can get pretty good at it I'll definitely keep you updated! http://littlesabledog.wordpress.com/
