This is a legitimate question. I've never had this problem before. My dog is a retired show champion and we're taking obedience classes. She's doing well, except that she runs as though she were still in the show ring. There are things I can think of doing outside but it's freezing, May is 5 months off and my house is just too small. Any ideas of what I can do under these somewhat restricted circumstances? Serious ideas will be greatly appreciated and definitely considered.

She is a 5 year old American Cocker Spaniel, if this helps.

Does anyone else find that many of the questions posted here are a waste of time, just plain ridiculous, or just so stupid as to defy description? There are so many things people could ask but don't because of all the "what should I name my dog?", "what breed of dog should I get?" and of course the ever popular "my dog does this or that, what is wrong with her?". Argh!
