No blog post for a week, I haven't been sitting in the house drinking coffee. I went to work and spent the rest of the time moving sheep here and there. Not the riveting stuff of blogs (maybe more facebook material).
However, today we went to dog school and it was great. This time we went to a small group that meets, between Bungendore and Braidwood, joined the club,( they run the Trans Tasman dog trials each year). We took our young Border Collies, Roy and Missy and they did well. Roy actually did very well and showed beautiful style and aptitude. Missy got better as the day progressed, and became more familiar with what was expected. Martin and I also improved our dog handling skills and we have homework to follow up with the dogs, before the next school. If you have working dogs and would like to manage them better I highly recommend dog school, it will make a huge difference over time, to our working dog's competence.
