For Red, for us, new landscapes, new challenges. Today, we went out to the pasture and the donkeys were standing by the gate, waiting for Maria and I to give them cookies and brush them. Red looked for the sheep and found them beyond Lulu’s Crossind and out in the back pasture with Chloe, the poney.
Chloe was clearly guarding the sheep she stood with them, they stood behind her seeking protection from the dog. Chloe has become protective of the sheep, she held her ground in front of them and stood still. Red paused, I sent him out, he rushed past the pony, die a sweeping outrun behind the sheep and drove them back into the main pasture. Chloe whinnied and turned, but didn’t try and stop him. I love working with dogs who problem solve.
