Tell Me Thursday

What obstacles have you overcome this week, and what did you learn from them? (This can be training obstacles, life obstacles, whatever obstacles you want to talk about.)

Obstacle = self. I have had a really down week, I’m very tired for no real reason and I knew I wasn’t in the best frame of mind when Tuesday training night rolled around. I took Dylan to training anyway and as soon as I felt I wasn’t giving him my full and positive attention, we quit. It meant we only did about 10mins of training rather than our usual 40mins, but it was worth it.

This has taken me a long time to learn, because I don’t like to quit on things. But sometimes, quitting is the best thing for me and my dog. I think I am getting better at recognising when those moments are.
