'Fortunately for my mental health, my dogs are blissfully unaware of my Big Worry. They bounce around, nudge my leg if I am a minute late with their dinners, and cuddle with me on the sofa. Their presence mitigates some of my anxiety.'
All dogs have ADHD, and I have four of them. That makes five of us here at home with the condition. We train together in obedience , agility , and nosework .. Our private nosework session this week was outdoors and one-on-one with the instructor. We stayed the requisite six feet apart and everything was fine.
Nosework is done one dog at a time and we usually record each other’s training by exchanging cell phones. This week, however, there was no touching of phones. Instead, we set up a tripod, and we were told not to touch it, but to wiggle our phones in between two spring-loaded braces. The instructor would press the record button with a sanitized wipe.. The phone went in crookedly, and I almost knocked over the tripod. Argh! It was just too much work.
