A border collie has to do a lot of things with sheep, one is to stop them if they are panicking or running away, as they sometimes too. Fate, at seven months, has not been able to do that yet well, she is getting close. Today, she didn’t stop the sheep as they ran for the barn, but she did turn them by rushing ahead of them and circling them. They paused, then stopped. Next we’ll work on driving the sheep, moving steadily behind them. It’s  Red one weakness, he comes on too strong, I think Fate will have a more subtle approach to that.

A good day for training with Fate.
