Getting Back My Mojo

It seems quite a few of us trainers have lost our mojo. There's been various reasons. The end result is we all have dogs with gaping holes in our training. Of course I'm one of the guiltiest, most mojo-losing in my group of friends.
Enter friend Laurie. She did very well at the Aussie nationals, with lots of HIT awards. I hope to upload a picture in a few days. When she unpacked her booty of gorgeous rosettes and various prizes I must say, I was a bit covetous. See I've dreamed of owning JUST ONE rosette like the ones she was displaying. Big, fat, with nice long streamers. And then there was the embroidered cloth crate, the chair, the medals...the prizes went on and on. We had fun decorating our fence and taking pictures of her dogs with all the prizes.
I know I've been pretty remiss in my training with Pinch and Moto. Unfortunately Moto had some sort of stomach bug so we weren't able to work with him. But Laurie quickly found lots of holes and impending bad habits that would have hampered Pinch's success in the long run. Bless her heart, she worked with me extensively, sometimes holding my shoulders straight, other times gently scolding, but in the end I believe I "got it". We've already revisited several of our new tools to make sure it is finally embedded in my head.
THANK YOU LAURIE! Plus, we had such fun doing various doggie activities: went to my obedience class at Renee's, herding, and the dogs joined us for my town's downtown trick or treat. The time went too fast and the house is awful quiet this morning without my pal and her wonderful pooches.
Now for some exciting Moto news: when I took him to the vet because of his tummy troubles I asked for blood work to test his thyroid. Lo and behold, it's low normal. He's now on meds to help raise it to a higher level. It's exciting because I want to see how it affects his personality and willingness to work. He's been making good strides and this may give him the final boost.
So now it's up to me to keep the momentum going. C'mon Mojo, let's get going!
