“Training should be fun – not you. A common advice given to owners with dogs that are not focused, is that the trainer needs to be more “fun”. I think this is the reason why many try to lure the dog back by being “fun”. You should not be “fun”. Rewards should be fun (and of course, you are a part of the reward), and training should be fun. Fun happens with good sessions and good rewards, not with an owner that tries to look like a clown all the time. I think a lot of dogs get nervous when the owner suddenly tries to be “fun”. They will try to calm their owner down by sniffing, looking away and moving slowly (and then the trainer tries to be even more fun…).”
Fanny Gott, “How to Get Your Dog to Love Training”. Reward Based Dog Training (22 March 2016).
This is a terrific article that contains many practical tips.

We are taking a break from rally trials after our last competition weekend cause I felt our connection was not where I wanted it both days. Our first day back in class after two weeks off and she TAKES OFF AROUND THE RING. stinker. I've been humbled. But it's good for me to practice patience. I was getting too excited and competitive I think.
It happened right after I asked if she wanted to try the broad jump (she didn't, and told me so). She did NOT come right back when I called (thank god didn't not run into other rings). It could be the jump BUT it also could be that we were out of cheese (it went bad) and so the pipmoney is not as good. Low value reinforcer (I THOUGHT IT WAS GOOD OK) has made her behave like a kicked dog before so it might just be that lol.
