Today Matilda and I went to a CPE trial in Valley Center, down near San Diego.  I took a blanket and folded it into a mat and set it down in a quiet spot maybe 30 feet from the ring entrance for five to seven dogs before our runs.  Actually, I was surprised how relaxed she became. By the last run she rolled over on her side for me to rub her tummy

Thank you! Thank you! We'll keep working with the mat.

Yes, you're right, when I don't give clear information fast enough she either freezes or takes off on a zoomie.

We do have fun runs. I haven't been to one in a while. I should look for one.
I can use class that way, too, working for the flow.
