Regarding the above post about a CsV's obedience on the SchH field once it has been taught exercises - I think that would depend entirely on the dog, handler and how it has been trained. My girl is very young, but quite intense, and I suspect I will see some "civil" or "defense" drive in her soon. She had a male helper work her for the first time this weekend and she was much more "serious" than she normally is with the female helper working her. Her little body was tense and she was not "playing" so much - she was seriously watching the male helper. I will have to make sure we channel this appropriately.
