I\u2019ve been really working with Dylan and his target training at the moment. We spend a couple of 10 minutes sessions a day working on his target with a variety of distractions. (I did lose his clicker yesterday which is going to make training today difficult, I\u2019ll have to have a look around when I\u2019ve written this!) He\u2019s working really nicely, only very occasionally getting distracted.<\/p>\n
We have flyball training this evening with the girls so Dyl will be visiting his flyballing friends, and this weekend I\u2019m competing with Kim, but I think Dylan will be staying at home with Mollie for that one.<\/p>\n
Dylan is developing his own herding style when we\u2019re out and about on walks at the moment. He goes out very wide and circles me and the girls, doing his little sheepdog thing with his head down. He\u2019ll \u2018down\u2019 from a distance now whilst he\u2019s pretending to herd and he\u2019ll do lefts and rights too. I still don\u2019t think he could have been a proper sheepdog, he\u2019s too much of a wussy boy, those sheep would have been scary!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
