We haven’t worked for two weeks. I am thrilled with our outrun to get the sheep (last bit of the video) after we took a break for Q to cool off. As I was taking off her lead I saw the sheep heading for the gate so sent her a bit Wild West (“git!”) to make sure they didn’t get there and hug the fence. She does a little bit of a pear shape outrun!!!! She comes in a big too fast and I had to decide what mattered for that one.
Also today we did a little driving, some little flanks trying to watch her pace and down, and sending her to get the sheep once when they made a run for the gate. Quill rarely loses a sheep. Again me: “ok get ‘em”
- I knew she’d go away but wanted her fast and I forgot my whistle today 😫
I sure enjoy training her. Thanks to Billie Richardson for the ability to drop in.
