Default pup with ADHD?

I really think she has it, LOL!!!

I've never had a puppy like this one in my life. She is a 5 month old Maltese. So typical of a small breed, she thinks its all about her. Gets in every bodys face at home and dog park. That could be dangerous, and I do watch her closely.

But she is soooooo easily distracted. She would rather play than eat. Chase a leaf than eat. Can be outside for 1/2 hour playing and forget to potty untill she comes in. We have started puppy kindergarten, not going real well, everything is a distraction for her. I did have high hopes for us in the obedience ring, but now I'm not so sure. My last dog was an Aussie, I don't want to make him sound like a saint, but he sure was a lot easier to train!

I don't know how to make her get more focused, on me, her training, her food. She will be spayed March 30, maybe that will help?
