Training Fate: At The Feeder

Training Fate

The feeder is a good place to train Fate in directionals – “come bye” and “away to me.” The sheep pay little attention to her while they are feeding, and she thinks she’s holding them in place. As she circles around them, I put a name to her movements – “come bye” if she’s moving clockwise, as above, “away” if she’s moving counter clockwise. Sometimes good training is simply putting a name to what the dog is doing, they often know what to do.
