I shot a video of the new phase of training for Fate, we took it slow lately, Fate was spayed and I wanted to slow things down. She is back and focused. The goal now is for her to move more slowly, to test the sheep with her eyes, and to widen her outruns, she is too close to the sheep.

I do this by letting her run, then praising her when she goes out and wide, which she seems to naturally be  starting to do. Fate is astonishingly surprising to me out in the pasture, she is keen and tuned in. I’m going to keep focusing on the eye, she sheep are still challenging her, but not as much. Her straight on eye work is taking hold, she is routinely pushing the sheep back. Come and see the progress we are making.
