	I am not really sure if you can call this miss behaving or another sort of alert. Or just adjusting back in to work mode. So this is what happened to me; I had an eye doctor appointment this week and sadie behaved very badly I exsplained that I had not been out in a while and she had gotten a lot of attention for visitors. For the last few month my family and I have gone through a lot of stuff. I am finally now living all a lone with Sadie. I have been going through a lot of over welming stuff and this make me very tyered physically and I need a new PA person cause of it to get back on my feet. I don't work well with strangers and now Sadie was very bad misbehaving at the EYE dr. So I am going to contact my trainer and redue training with her. Do I have to put her IN TRAINING PATCH back on her? This is frustraing to say the least. Since even my trainer (this train exspecially) has told me dozens of time that sadie was very well behaved. As well as well trained. This is up setting as well as other things in my life.

	What do you mean by misbehaving? What exactly was she doing? I think from your description that Sadie probably needs a little reminding about how she needs to act while working. Maybe you can make more trips to dog friendly stores to get her back into working mode? The older SDs can definitely correct me if I'm wrong, it sounds like it's a combination of forgetting the correct way to act because of lack of practice and you being so tired and overwhelmed that the corrections or signals to tell her the behaviors weren't acceptable were absent. I would start immediately retraining in dog friendly stores until she seems to be getting working behavior back. like I said I'm new at this so the other SDs can definitely jump on my case and tell me otherwise.

	She won't settle nor will she stay in a down. Comeplains that we are still to long. I had a feeling that I was going to have to do some retaining any way cause I had been played up so long. Now that it is spring I can get out better I hope. I also need some new equipment for heavy duties mob.work now she is older now and can do that full time.

	I hope the retraining goes well! Did she get enough exercise before you went out? Was she sick? Can she normally not settle down in the house?

	Thanks Jaz yeah for the most part she does well to settle at home and I have started to get out more for walks to with her. that day though I had just enough to get to the doc. office so she did not get much walk time that day. I have to start up slow cause of being layed up and it was an eye doc. appt. We are slowly working on this for next time.

	Hm can you ask someone to give her a good walk before you go next time? I believe that might help you not only go to the doctors a lot more peacefully but it'd also help that she's not going to be practicing those behaviors as much. I know Jazzy has her days where she has energy and it's really difficult for her to behave well (she still does admirably for a SDit) but it's still harder for her. Hope this helps!
