Best training session yet today, despite the field resembling a quagmire!
Fox flanked beautifully, lay down when asked, kept out from his sheep and even called off without taking a cheap shot at diving back behind the flock. He didn't even take a break to talk to the girls... one of whom I later learned, was in season, so he was very good!
I am a very happy girl, I even gave him a tiny bit of haggis as a reward :o)
We zig zagged around the field, practicing keeping the corners of the little flock knocked in. Next week we'll be starting to learn to drive... practice, practice, practice now!
