Herding Fun Day

Our local club, the Twin Cities OES Club, had our herding fun match on Sunday. We had to dodge rain with thunder and lightening, but it was just in the middle and didn't wreck the whole day.

We had 9 in the instinct testing right off in the morning. Even one 4.5 month old puppy who was hooked! We also had a bouv, and a briard puppy. Then the rain hit, so we took a break!
We got a little wet running inside. Not quite the usual look for Bond, the Grand Ch show dog! But yes, he gets to be a "real dog" :go:





Spectating:



Bond and his water:



Some short video clips of Bond herding. Broken into 3, 30--40 second segments - beginning, middle and end clips. We were practicing for A Course sheep.







It's kind of far away viewing, but hope you can sort of see what we were doing!

He looks great! To my (admittedly inexperienced) eye, he looks like he has very good control. :clappurple: :clappurple: :clappurple:

I would SO love to try herding with Benson, but the nearest place to train is something like 150 miles away. :(

He does have good control; (very hard earned on my part!) and now we are looking for moderation - in speed, bounciness, etc. He's working so much harder than he needs to....and he's doing it on purpose because he LOVES it. :excited:

This day was a drive - over 2 hours of highway driving. But thankfully, our local practice is only about 30 minutes away. And that is really rare to find. :phew: :banana: :banana:

Fun for all!
