Thanks for visiting my blog. It's rather flattering to have someone read your minds meanderings. I hope it's entertaining and sometimes educational.

Working 2 dogs at once
Sometimes it's just easier to give in and not fight with them. I wanted to use Dually to sort some sheep but Dare would not stay outside the fence so I used both of them. I flanked them both and then when I wanted to put them out a gate, one wanted to hold (Dare) and one wanted to push so Dare got a rock can thrown at him and it connected with his head. He gave in and went where I asked him to. I didn't think much more about it, but later this afternoon when I took him out to sort the sheep back to their original pens, he actually stopped and sat every time I asked him to Stop. That was unprecedented and the only thing I can attribute it to is the can in the head. Silly dog. But what a hard head.
