Its a struggle... but you can do it. <br /><br />Best piece of advice I've ever gotten (and it was from Scott): Always know your dog's mind, and what his next step is going to be. He had me study my dog's movements and natural inclinations as part of every work. I learned a LOT about what she is capable of, where she needs help, etc. I spent 5-10 minutes of each work setting her on a drive and just studying what she would do based on the sheep (barring errors that require handling to avoid poor training!) . Its helped immensely.Moniquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17590279128673190945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9573091.post-14097562018265550502010-03-23T17:01:16.282-06:002010-03-23T17:01:16.282-06:00LOL!! too funny

Moments of brilliance is all you need to look for and remember.

Don't beat ...This all sounds like a good plan! Don't beat yourself up too much. It is supposed to be fun for you and the dog both, ya know? Spend more time thinking about what the sheep are doing and less about what the dog is doing. AM told me the goal is 90% concentration on the sheep, 10% on the dog. Just catch the dog out of the corner of your eye before he gets things out of whack and is working against what you're concentrating on! You can do it!Robin Frenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14621708016412756722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9573091.post-59813552758148736552010-03-23T13:21:02.952-06:002010-03-23T13:21:02.952-06:00...says the girl who went from zero to open in abo......says the girl who went from zero to open in about sixteen minutes ;-)<br />But you are right, and I appreciate the encouragement!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15118131996152150797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9573091.post-86039002660897328552010-03-23T12:38:55.339-06:002010-03-23T12:38:55.339-06:00chin up!!
