It doesn’t really make much difference when people are approaching her without asking me or even giving me the chance to keep her focus on me because they just walk straight in front of me while i am giving commands – we are talking about stupid people here, i mean literally people purposely make eye contact with her
thats where i am at mark…anyone do that to amilou….all she does is maintain the last cue …as a sit or whatever and peers around legs to focus on me….she ignores them in otherwords until she is told you can greet if you wish….
so that is your aim…to maintain/sustain that focus….now you can do this…you can…it no worse than what you have done already with brill results….and by doG you have done so much that was far worse….

It’s not a major issue for me Bev, i know i can do it & i am doing it really well. maybe i make it sound worse than it is. All we are talking about are certain people getting much too close – i’m talking within touching distance, literally shoving thier hand under her nose.
If a jacket prevents people from getting so close while i work to maintain her focus then that’s all i want. I am seeing it more as a tool to use.
