So, we went Saturday and had a BLAST! Dice and Jaycee both were grinning ear to ear and they both did wonderful. BF was a little worried Jaycee might grab one of the goats by the throat, but she didn't! She just chased them around and you could tell was starting to get the hang of it. The trainer said she seemed to have a natural instinct and would do well with it. Dice also did very well and she was impressed with how fast he started working off the stick. Although he's done some things with cattle, so it was a matter of getting him to bring them to us, instead of pushing them away. At one point, there was a goat in the corner that wouldn't come out. Dice was the one out there, the trainer said, "will he go in and get it" BF said oh yea, he sent Dice in, Dice got head butted pretty good, but never missed a beat and sent the goat back to the rest of the heard. They both tired out so fast, BF was shocked, these are two dogs that run all day long with him at work, I explained to him the difference in just burning energy and burning energy will stimulating there little minds. We are going to start trying to bring them out there once a week and go from there. The lady was really nice and seemed to do really well with both of our dogs. (neither embarrassed us! which we were thankful for). She had a really nice German Shepard there that was there for training that had just gained his championship and several other dogs there for training. She's going to have an AKC playday out there in the next couple weeks that we are going to attend. So, now it's time for MOM to get some learning done about herding so I know what I'm looking for as well! Anyone have any books they recommend?
