I took dare out to work the course this am since we haven't done that since our last trial in April. Not good. I used the heavy sheep so he would have to push. He was all over the place and then wouldn't take his flanks. He thought I was nuts. Kept going opposite to what I asked. Lots of yelling and throwing going on. I put him away and worked Dually on same sheep. He was very good. He took off balance flanks for me and drove them thru the panels with me on the Open line. We penned them in the center and then we went to work on the take pen. It was all pretty good. He did dive in a couple of times and I threw lots of shake cans at him. He got better and better as he worked.
Then I took Dare out again and it was like he had an epiphany. He pushed and held the line and took my flanks. Much much better.
It's getting too hot to work more till tonight maybe.
