Vinlands Icelandic Sheepdogs celebrating spring weather : -
Kria started puppy agility this week! She was a rockstar. Our trainer was impressed at how fast she picked stuff up! We worked on hand touches and crate games. - Michele

Icies tend to get bored when they have to repeat new 'tricks' too many times. They learn fast and retain so much even after only a couple or a few tries. I'd like to suggest that you keep working on stuff, reviewing and adding new things, while the other puppies in class are struggling to learn so that she doesn't get bored. Try to keep her attention on you all the time. - Even while the instructor is talking and demonstrating. I am not surprised. She is brilliant. The more she can learn now, the easier it will be for her to continue to learn new stuff life long. You already have her attention! That's great. Try to incorporate toys as play and training tools. My Icies tend to ignore them during training but it can make it easier to train later.
