I'm going to ask the trainer(s) this question this week but I'd like to run it by people here too.

We're in Basic Obedience for the 4th time (not in a row). Hannah's got the idea and HAS had the idea of what she's supposed to do.
We do two short sessions (10-15minutes) per day.
This week and even starting in class last week, she's been acting bored with the routine.
Example: When I have her sit stay and walk out in front to the end of the leash, she's just looking around everywhere but at me. Twice, when I've said "Down" she will go into the "BANG" position, down and over with feet sticking in the air. She's pretty slow to go down from a sit and if I lean over to give a leash direction she'll just pop up and trot over to me, thus breaking her sit.

I guess my question is, is she getting bored? Am I not making myself more interesting than the distractions? Is she just unable to keep her attention on work?

My goal was to NOT move her out of Basic Obedience class until I could see her tail come out from between her legs, in class, and that might happen this session. I figured that was enough work for awhile.
