As Molly was still limping now and then we stayed away from the park until Tuesday when we went back to training class. She was happy and bouncy as we started our pre-training class walk - right up until the point we went into the field before the one she was stung in. At this point she ran back to the entrance and stood look back towards the cars. Even when another dog came through for her to play with she had a quick play and then returned to the entrance. Took me a few seconds to realise she had decided not to go this way as last time she had been hurt. Clever reasoning I guess even if slightly flawed but as those fields really are the best and safest it is something we are going to have to try to resolve.
Training class on a very windy night after almost no run at all was ....... interesting!! She was somewhat like Tigger on speed as she bounced and jumped around, at least I can confirm she is not unhappy in the classes. As she was so distracted I stayed close to her on the stays and was pleased that she did those perfectly.
She is also making progress on her bird obsession and although does still get excited and screech at times will usually now transfer attention back to me pretty quickly and has started to check in with me more.
