Barany is best motivated for work with food (it has to be good food, not just his normal kibble), I didn't do tug of war to often because he is a little bit hard with his mouth.

He can bring the bal back a copple of times but also food motivated, he likes to do it a copple of times, he wil never be a BC

We train at a dog club, with 4 clubs of 4-8 dogs at each corner of the field. So at a normal training there are about 12-20 other dog at the field that can distract him. The other dogs are the biggest challange

Also at the training he is not going to work as driven as a BC. He does do what I ask him to do, and he has a lot of fun doing it. But don't ask him to jump the same obstakes 4 times than he is going to make a mess out of it.
He works the best the first 20 minutes, after that he is becomming a little bit tired and more easily distracted. But maybe that is going to be better in the future

For me the fun is more important than if we can be good enough for real competition.
