Applause Proofing

One thing I learned is that I need to proof for applause.  I mostly train in my house, and my dog was definitely distracted by the audience's applause (luckily she recovered quickly with verbal help from me).  She's competed in obedience & agility, so she's used to the presence of an audience, but she's not used to the clapping.  Some of the other competitors practice as a group, and their dogs actually improved when they heard the applause.
