Hi Cheng See, It was nice of you to show us the demo on clicker training. As for sharing our expericences, you are most welcome! During this coming week, if possible, take Belle out and do your training there. Sometimes, I practise on the roadside beside a playgrd (MPSJ does NOT allow dogs in their parks ) with all the noise of passing cars, children playing, other doggies out on walks,etc. This will expose the furkids to all the distraction and 'condition' them to ignore them and concentrate on YOU. You are also correct to work on your selfconfidence. It is said that our leash is like an electric wire connecting our emotions direct to the doggie. If we are nervous, this feeling goes straight down the leash to them! But like we said, once inside the obedience ring, there will NOT be that many distractions as the ring stewards does a good job to make it a condusive atmosphere for testing. Be strong, be confident and just do the best you can and MOST of all, have FUN! If we are not having fun, why do it in the first place? Ha Ha.. Rdgs Arthur
