Preparing for the stage part 1. - Practising with disturbance

Kellie is a "bisquit whore" ( a title my dear boyfriend came up with as she´ll do anything for a treat) which also means she is very keen on being a part of the training and taking Folkes rewards. She usually comes along and I throw out a couple of hand fulls of treats on the grass and she spends her time sniffing and eating. She actually pulls to get to the lawn where we usually practise - so she thinks it's great fun.
Folke and I then practise around her - which means Folke has to roll around on treats that he is not allowed to focus on - and hasn't done this far - and he also gets a rowdy element to practise not focusing on. It's only Kellie but it's a good start, we'll have to step it up a notch and begin practising at the dog club sometime soon.

Kellie likes showing off her tricks as well, since she is more or less deaf (still being able to sort out words like food and candy though) and probably half blind it's not all that easy to communicate tricks with her but she is pretty good at the sign language.
