Obedience

OB training was interesting.  I found out that you don't "train" a sighthound.  
You "negotiate" with a Sighthound :-)

As Lisa hinted at, obedience training with any sighthound can be quite the challenge,
and each breed presents their own training challenges.  I learned with my Greyhound
that repetition and drilling only made things worse.   When a sighthound gets an
exercise or a segment of an exercise correct, quit!  If you ask them to do it again, they'll
do something different, so quit while you're both ahead.  

It seems that every dog has at least some problems in heeling, but the problem I've run
into with training Kira is that she doesn't  like to stay all the way across the ring from me.  
Teaching the stays has been a long gradual process.  It's very important to teach
duration first, and then distance and don't rush it.
