I wish I'd have had yesterday's work on tape - he really was using his noggin.Laura Carsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11752781068707907365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096637479253298483.post-87570935753887735912009-04-20T10:29:00.000-04:002009-04-20T10:29:00.000-04:00Looking good!

You could use a there or time every once in a while instead but you're mostly doing everything right.Robin Frenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14621708016412756722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096637479253298483.post-512778533195010012009-04-20T10:18:00.000-04:002009-04-20T10:18:00.000-04:00Which is exactly why I said in the post that I thi...Which is exactly why I said in the post that I think I'm asking him to lie down too much. lol It appears that I am going to be able to let him work more now (and I did subsequently). He's always more of a booger first time out - which was exactly what this was.<br /><br />I'm absolutely loving this dog. Thanks for the input. ;)Laura Carsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11752781068707907365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096637479253298483.post-18890260453819202642009-04-20T09:50:00.000-04:002009-04-20T09:50:00.000-04:00Very nice Laura.

He...Very nice Laura. I love the ears on the sheep!<br />Here are my comments- for what they're worth.<br />I think you are saying lie down too much. Imo, he just needs you to be there giving an ah-ah- if he gets too close, and pushes- he seems to have nice pace a lot of the time. The more you use the down though, the less he will take it- if that makes sense. I love his balance, and I wouldn't down him at the top of those flanks if he is deep enough. I would, if he were mine (besides being very happy with him) say, less, let him work, and get the feel of where he needs to be, and don't use the down when you know it will hard to take. I like him a lot- a LOT.Dancing shepherdesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16864498014986609858noreply@blogger.com
