the recall

Hi guys,

we are trying our hand at our first novice A trial in 2 weeks..our biggest concern is the recall. Here it is...she waits beautifully...i call her..she comes running at me AS FAST AND HARD as she can...she looks like a freight train . She either runs directly into me or jumps on me as she slows herself down on the way by - she then comes and fronts....very frustrating.

I have tried to give her a sit command when she is 10 feet away and this does slow her to some extent but she is so excited I am finding it hard to contain her-sometimes she will run by and end up finished in heal position sometimes she will front correctly (very rare indeed)

Any and all suggestions welcome
