No food in the dishes??? Not at our B match... they had CHEESE!!!
Sometimes the grass (esp at parks) have some real smells. No doubt about it, you have to practice at many locations w/ young dogs. A few of us set a rally course up at a park earlier this week where guys were kicking a soccer ball around and kids were playing w/ a football. Kanzi about came unglued at first, and I did reprimand her as she should know by now when it's time to work. She straightened right up after that and did great. Thankfully our show site won't have soccer and football and such going on!
