Lucy - Collie stimulation tip (video)

Look what fun Bess and Duncan had yesterday, spontaneously. I think I might have fed Duncan too many oats for breakfast!

I'm sure you and Beau could do similar. Look how much she enjoyed it!

haha! Beat you to it!

me and my sister might make small jumps in the garden or something similar and see what happens, makes good procrastination instead of exam revision

 

[Patches]

No no no! I don't want you holding me responsible if you fail your exams due to lack of revision!

Does she do agility?

Lovely sunny day too. Funny what we catch our husbands doing isn't it? Mine swears he hates the barn cats yet I'll frequently come upon him sitting there with a cat wrapped around his neck.

Nooo.....she's only a pup. I was pooh picking in the other paddocks (I don't graze that one, keep the grass - well mostly docks until sprayed

- longer to preserve footing).

He had brought Bess over to meet me and must've been eyeing up the jumps with her. Bless her heart.

She's a cow dog. Is just beginning to work on the farm this spring. Not asking much of her really, just letting her do her own thing behind the cows as we send them in for milking. She's a great help though. Loves fetching them in.

I was advised not to do obedience and I'm sure I was advised not to do agility with her if we're planning on using her on the livestock. We need her to focus solely on her work and not confuse the training. Obedience gets you to focus on them working close to heel, something we don't really require of her out in the fields. We need her to work away from us.

No harm in a bit of fun in the field though over the showjumps, I'm sure. Brightened up her day.
