I rotated their electronet today, and while I move it the boys are free to wander the property. Usually I use Zen to collect them and drive them to their new grazing area, but I need to think big with Reese, so she got a chance to do it today. Not bad! <br />
<br />
Then of course, she got to help with evening feeding and chores, her favorite.<br />

Some driving, going into tight corners, and pen work. <br />
<br />
We checked ewes for worming, all of them looked pretty good, my three skinnies were late lambers last year. All eyelids looked nice and pink.<br />

The ewes are more of a challenge to work as they are really flighty. Reese did really well over all, she got pushy a few times, usually after I've made her do something difficulty for her. Her flanks from a stop were tighter than I'd like, something to work on. <br />

There is a 4 day NADAC trial over the New Years holiday and I'm debating on brushing Zen up to go have some fun. His skills are all there, I really just need to do some jump conditioning for him and get him on the contact equipment a little. If I get the time and motivation to work on it I'll work Reese some, she may be ready to try a tunnelers course, just to get her out and see what kind of challenges we will have. NADAC is my all time favorite for starting new dogs, laid back and flowing courses, the trials are usually smaller and quieter than AKC, or USDAA.</div>

Reese has a lot of the ground work, I just haven't put it all together. She doesn't have weaves or contacts yet. Of course, I wouldn't put her in a situation she's not ready for, so we will see. I'm just tossing the idea about right now. </div>

Really nice farm, good people, and nice stock.<br />
<br />
Both of my dogs were entered, and Reese was just coming off a 5 day Larry Painter clinic, so my goals were to work our skills, make my dogs be right, and do some good stock work, even if that meant stepping in and helping my dog, or "forgetting" and element of the course, and essentially not Q'ing.<br />
<br />
I'll do Zen first since he had fewer runs. I just entered him in ranch dog, because that kind of stuff is better for him. He thinks courses are dumb. First day we had a crazy set out. It took what seemed like 5 minutes for the stock handler to get the group out and settled, then as soon as Zen made a move they shot off for the back corner. So I left my post and stepped in to help. In B field I knew he wasn't going to be correct if I let him handle that on his own from 300' away. After that we got through everything with some minimal difficulty. He was much more "up" than I needed him, but was able to walk instead of trot the whole time. The sheep really had his number, they'd eye him up hen he got in close to pen or sort, and he's not good with direct pressure, but he made good decisions and not once did he grip. No Q due to me leaving the post on the outrun.<br />
<br />
Day two the ranch course was much better. Still had 50% too much dog, but again, he walked, he drove, we sorted, and he pulled out a Q in level 3 with an 83. <br />
<br />
Reese had a great weekend and I had some very proud moments for myself out there. I am 50% of the team, and I feel like I was finally relaxed enough at a trial to MOVE where I needed to be, and think about how I was affecting the stock. <br />
<br />
Even though Reese was in level 1 I had her drive stock whenever possible. So I didn't fetch through any obstacles in the Arena courses. I did fetch some in ranch dog, when it was the most logical thing, but through most obstacles I had her driving sheep. We did Course 3 in arena, sheep and cattle. Not one time did she break her sit until sent her (YAY). A lof of it is a blur, so I'll do a highlight recap.<br />
<br />

<br />
In arena all stock went through all obstacles, no skims. Our drives weren't perfectly straight, but she did drive, and when I made corrections, she took her flanks and theres. Freestanding pen was done on both stock with minimal issue. I think once on sheep and once on cows we had to make a second attempt. Her stop did deteriorate some, but I was able to get on her and make it happen, and maybe only a few times did I let it slip (stops are super important). I made a mental note to use the word less on Sunday, and just give here a "there" to check up and be allowed to adjust and control stock. Her gathers were nice, with her going all the way around, even between fence and cattle without physical pressure from me. On the first day, the cows were against the fence near the repen and she would flank to the heels, but wasn't staying in the pocket to push them into the repen gate, so I made a good decision to let go of the gate, leave it open, and walk back and support my dog to show her she could push at that point. The second day, she did it with no help.<br />

Ranch dog both days was at the end, and the outrun in the big field I knew would be tough on her. She was nice and wide, maybe cut in a little at the top, but sheep lifted and came the right direction. I sent her with the set out dog still on the field. They were working to push sheep out and I'd signaled to the stock handler twice that I was sending my dog, she wasn't calling her dog back, so I just sent Reese, who ignored the dog and scooped up the sheep, so issue. So that was a bit above her paygrade, but she handled it fine, ten we moved sheep into a smaller arena and through a few panels to the back corner (all driving). At the pen the sheep did not want to go in and I was supposed to sort off 2 and keep 3. Well Reese did some good work there, she go in a little close, but took her out, I used some inside flanks to try to shuffle sheep around and maybe get a willing participant to move to the front, but no luck, so I opened the gate a little wider, and let Reese push them all in and called our run. She had done some great work up to that point, and I didn't want to keep pushing until she failed. <br />
<br />
The second day, the ranch course was a little more Reese friendly, and we got 95% of the way through. A couple times on moving through gates she'd taken the correct flank, but then came in short to funnel sheep through, which, is practical, but not what I asked. I expect a nice, square flank, until the dog is told otherwise. So at the last gate, she did the short flank again, so I didn't let sheep run through, I closed the gate, and asked her to flank all the way around twice, which she did. Then the third time, I opened the gate to let sheep through as she'd flanked nicely and all the way to the fence, and her brain kind of had a melt down, so she gripped. And we were thank you'ed. :) (appropriately) Which was no big deal, I corrected her for gripping, asked her to stop, she stopped, then, all is good, we left the field. SO proud of the baby dog.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A personal favorite moment was when we had sheep in the freestanding pen and I sent her around to the back to push them out and they turned to face her, she bounced out of the pressure a little, but I flanked her again and told her "there". She stood, sheep stared, she reached under the fence and did a very appropriate bite, sheep moved, and she walked forward to keep them moving. Her arena scores were consistently mid-70's (maximum 90 for level 1), and she finished both her level one titles this weekend on sheep and cows in the arena.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Again, proud of myself for those moments where I made good training choices, and asked her to do things over, or be right. Also the moments where I thought "move, and show her/them where to go" or "you're blocking your stock", that's BIG for me, normally I can't think. The decisions I made to call the run after a success, or enforce a skill I know is there, all of those were big steps forward for me.</div>

She's 10 months old now, and I look around at some other dogs her age and they know tunnels, and wrap jumps, lots of flatwork. Reese and I are just taking our time. She has lots of skills, and for a while, shaping games were a little frustrating to her, so we didn't do those. We did other things. I think her foundations for herding are excellent, she's really got the drive for it now, where months ago I felt she was a little "blah" on sheep, never turned off, just not super super gung ho. I think by our next Larry Painter clinic (in Feb) she'll really be ready to learn the next steps and she'll be resilient enough to take some pressure, so I'll be able to push her out some more and build on what we've done so far.<br />
<br /><br />
I signed Reese up for a Recall Workshop in the Dallas area the day after Thanksgiving. I was just hoping for a fun experience and some fun games to bring home and play with, along with what we really need, working in front of other dogs/people. When I work dogs at home, its usually low distraction. It's just me, and the dog. Maybe I'll have the other dogs in the general area, or on a stay waiting their turn, but Reese is used to that now. I was super pleased with her at this workshop. I wasn't sure if she'd play in that exciting environment, but she was game! She tugged and played, and fetched each and every time I asked/offered. She waited in line for her turn with barking, lunging dogs and just kind of chilled out with me. This girl has a fabulous off-switch, and that came programmed in. All I did was reinforce it. Someone had a small mat outside the ring and she saw it, went right to it and just layed down while we waited our turn. Treats fall from the sky when you're relaxed, she knows this.<br /><br /> Reese even did side by side restrained recalls (she's actually never done a restrained recall before this workshop). I really thought the dog running next to her would distract her, but she came right in to the toy I had and never took a second look at the other dog. <br /><br /> I was kind of wishing I'd brought Gus, I'm again toying with trying to get him ready for agility. I've been working some foundations with Reese (circle work/circling an upright object, personal play, food play, toy play), and so I've been doing these with Gus too, and he seems game to play. So I'll just see where it leads.<br />
<br /><br />
Video from the workshop. All I brought was my phone, and I didn't know anyone well enough to ask for video, but they have a camera on delay, so you can watch your runs after you're finished, so I snapped a little video from that. This was a hide and seek game, where the instructor took the dog away while the handler goes to hide, then they let the dog loose into the arena. This game told me a lot about our relationship and I fully thought my puppy wouldn't look for me, but she did! She liked this game, so I'm going to start doing this some at home. Sorry for the quality, its a video of a video.<br />

Our main goal was to have fun and keep all 4 feet on the floor. I'd say Reese had a pretty good first month! She was shown 5 times and took winners bitch 3 out of 5 times. So she's up to 3 single points towards her championship. <br />

<br /><br />
The plan is to show in my local area on weekends that don't have either a herding trial or agility trial, so our conformation shows will be limited for a while. She's still a baby and I like to let my dogs grow up some before I really try to finish them in conformation. <br />
<br /><br />
Reese has her very first workshop/seminar coming up. The day after Thanksgiving we will go for a few hour workshop on recalls, hoping to solidify our skills with some fun drills and distractions. <br />
<br /><br />
Zen has a UKI trial coming up where our goal is to push for speed and have FUN. We are doing an online class currently. More on that later. <br /><br />
Both dogs will be doing a 3 day herding clinic in December which I am super excited about. <br />
<br /><br />
Anyway, those are the main updates that I've missed, so here are a few videos from the past few weeks.<br />

Life goes on, and training and trialing are still happening. I've hardly been home, except to go to work during the week. :)<br />
<br />
<br />
With fall weather on it's way, I've been doing more herding. YAY! We have two upcoming herding clinics this winter/early spring and after that I hope to have Zen ready to trial. Reese may not be far behind him, but I'm not rushing anything. We all have a lot to learn. She has a bit more advantage than Zen ever has because I have more experience under my belt, so she doesn't have to be the experimental dog. Zen doesn't mind though, he's game for anything. <3 p=""><br /><br />
Reese is still in her Foundation Fun class, and doing well, I haven't had much time to film, or edit video, but FUN is being had. <br />
<br /><br />
Her first official conformation show in this weekend. A small local show. She definitely needs time to mature, but we will show in the puppy classes and just have a good time. If we take a point or two, yay, if not, we will still have fun. I don't get in a rush to finish dogs anyway. <br />
<br /><br />
October is FULL of trials and shows, so hopefully I'll update more frequently. Always check my YouTube channel, I uploaded video from a couple of the last agility trials. I don't usually get much video.<br />

<br /><br />
I love the outdoors and it seems I just don't do enough hiking. Its about a 1.5-2 hour drive for me to get to the Ouachita mountains in Arkansas, so that kind of puts me off a little. A couple weeks ago we went to let the dogs swim in the river and enjoy a trip away from home. I mentioned to Travis that I still want to do more hiking and possibly an over night hike. While on the way home we stopped into some gas stations and picked up some maps of hiking trails and stuff. <br />
<br /><br />
Last week I kept looking at the maps, and online and searching for a good hike, just to get back into it. I chose an equestrian trail, and figured if we came up to the trail head and saw a bunch of horse trailers I'd hike a different trail. Well, it was clear, I was the only car in the lot, I took all 4 dogs with me. We had a great time! The actual trail I think was 13 mile out and back, but we walked about 2.5-3 miles in and came back. I didn't want to push it too far, and as it was, when I got home I realized Gus had torn pads on both front feet, and one of Zen's was slightly cracked. The two girls were fine. No limping on the trail though. <br />
<br /><br />
It was 95 degrees outside, and I'd heard on the radio that the heat index was 112, well, it wasn't quite that bad. There was good cloud coverage, and the trail was shaded almost the entire way, with lots of creeks to stop and wade in for the dogs. <br />

<br /><br />
A few days ago I built a new y-chute at the entrance/exit of our "front pasture". We have been keeping the lambs up there overnight and letting them out during the day to graze. When we need to corral them up for worming or inspections, weighing, etc they get super suspicious and do not want to cooperate. So, my idea was, build a semi-permanent y-chute to the entrance exit of the field, then run them in and out of it every day so they get used to it. Then, when we need to look at them or grab one of them, we just corral them in there, do the quick and dirty, and let them out, just like normal. So I built it, and they followed a grain bucket into the field, then the next day I go to let them out, and they could not figure out how to get out. By evening time when it was time for them to get put up none of them had ever figured out how to get out.... (what the heck?!?! They are normally escape artists)<br />
<br /><br />
I told Travis to just leave them in and lock them up and Zen and I would use it as a challenge to try to show them they could in fact, run through the y-chute in the other direction. <br />
<br /><br />
So yesterday morning, I go out and open the gate to give them free access to the rest of the property, and Zen and I go in with intentions of bringing them out. This field is much bigger than the two practice fields I have been working Zen in, so I knew it'd be a bit of a challenge. The sheep were in the back corner (If I was guessing, a two acre field, with lots of trees, and a creek). They were up on a hill, so I feel like Zen had a decent visual of them when I sent him, and he did fairly well, needed some initial correcting on staying out wide, but I figured he would. Staying wide in a small field is important, and staying wide in a larger field is even more important. We spent some time on that, just getting him to "out" while moving, and taking flanks while he was already moving. Also, tightened up some on his "there" commands. He's (mostly) checking up and changing pace now when I give the "there" command, instead of having to stop him every time. I'm also noticing, he doesn't always feel the need to bring the sheep to me, which is great. So I can send him, tell him "there" and have him turn in, slow up, and walk the sheep in a line from that point. We worked those sheep for probably 30 minutes. Not hard, obviously, the sheep had the advantage in that large field. They only ran if they wanted to. Every time Zen had control of the group we were walking them. He got to cover a few times, and I still want him to push out a little more on his cover, but over all I was really impressed that he seems to know his job is to get to the head and turn the whole group, no just single one out. So we would drive the sheep to the front, and my goal was to just walk them down the fence line and then push them through the chute, but that never happened. They would get to the opening of the chute and then take off, so those were the times Zen had to cover, then that would open up the other side, and they'd dart that way, and he'd cover, and we'd be in the same position again. I tried walking in front of them, like a fetch, same thing. They'd follow me for a bit, then see the chute and thought "not going through there", so while we never accomplished the goal, I still felt he did some awesome work out there. All of the elements are coming together. Since I was wanting the task done, but went out there to train, I was pretty much focused on making sure Zen was right, so if his flank was a little flat, or tight, we fixed it. Even if the sheep left and I had to send him again. I am glad for the training we got done.

Not as participators, mainly just as spectators, and spectate we did! Two days of ringside sitting, and watching, and trick dogging. Reese was happy because apparently more people want to pet her at conformation than they do at agility or the pet store. There were quite a few spectator kids and she likes kids. So every time I saw one looking at her I made sure to tell them "you can pet her", then made sure she kept all 4 feet on the ground. :)<br />
<br /><br />
At first Reese was a little .... worried about the building. This isn't a big show, but its a small building, so everyone is crowded inside. Then, I forgot how conformation dogs often bark and lunge at the crates, much more than we are used to seeing. So she was a little put off by that. True to personality, she warmed up quickly, and while I can't say she got over the barking/rude dogs (can't say I blame her), she wasn't nearly as weirded out by them. <br />

<br /><br />
Reese showed in her first fun match Saturday evening and did fabulous! She let the judge look in her mouth, no problem, and she loved every minute of it. She did a few bouncy bounces on the go-round, and needs work on gaiting behind another dog, but it'll come. No need to rush, I just want her having fun for now. <br />
<br /><br />
So, yet another hotel stay under Reese's belt! This time we stayed with a friend and her sheltie, so that was a little different. All good things. <br />
<br /><br />
At home we have been doing regular walks and conditioning, keeping me and the dogs in shape for fall agility. We have done a little herding, but it's been so hot I haven't done much. This weekend we may do a hike in some mountains nearby. <br />
