I would love to try it with Sophy. I suspect it could even help with chasing behaviour - we all know about putting a behaviour on cue, and then only cuing it when you want it!

This doesn't always hold true. The hunting Poodles I know get pretty worked up when they see birds.

IME (friend raises JRT's) the dogs that we lure course with will chase more after it. However they LOVE doing it and it calms them down. and they are able to do it and say flyball with out getting to where they are chasing other lanes etc.

My Whippet is the same way - probably the most trustworthy dog I have ever had.
