Hi everyone, I do agility with my cavalier king charles spaniel and lately she has been getting distracted. Any advice on how I can keep her focused on me would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe she's bored. Try to add some new challenges once in a while to keep her on her toes.

It's what I do with Bubba when he acts distracted during OB drills. Works like a charm with him!

Good luck!

Have you talked to your family about being a part of the training, or at least being a part of the solution and making an effort not to distract her?

yes i have, but even them standing there watching her is distracting, we have been working on recalls with lots of distracting things around her and it seems to be working well.
