Suddenly Come 'alive'

[Reddii]

Hi all,

I posted in the brags thread about how CK has suddenly come alive after the trial last weekend. In the ring the transformation was quite amazing, but out of the ring at home it is not a lot different. In the space of a week we've gone from a dog that is docile and quiet, but slowly developing more drive to a dog that is quite drivey. He's not OTT or any more than about 80% of Xena's PITA antics, but he is a LOT more playful and is pushing me to play where previously he had to be encouraged to play.

In his training he is also driving really well to toys where in the past that held little interest for him.

I'm over the moon and just hope we can build on this, but was wondering if anyone else had seen an overnight (OK, overweek) change in their dog and what they thought the trigger might have been.

Cheers

Tony
