Almost time to officially start this guy. 10 months old and today’s session started to look like he wants to work instead of play! Chip is an awesome dog, friendly and boisterous, And he’s quite a looker if you ask me…

Aerial lift truck wouldn’t start this morning, someone didn’t make sure the block heater was connected properly last night. (That someone might have been me…) so I worked Wren a bit in the rising sun. Inukshuk Professional Dog Food sure makes her coat shiny!

Congrats to Wren for taking first place at Kat Powshuk’s pro-novice trial near Drayton Valley!

I don’t spend a lot of time just letting a dog work. Mostly we’re rushing from night pen to day grazing so I can head to work, and vice versa. But tonight Wren and I took some time to work a bit at a distance, to focus on listening and then working independently. Round the post and back out again. And if you watch until the end C**t throws in a little surprise dance for you!

Our lessons are now a leash free zone. Why? The partnership needed to work together on stock starts at home. It starts on walks, and while doing chores. It’s not all about obedience, it’s about respect and a willingness to be a partner. It’s about correct brain, not just correct behaviour. (This rule isn’t going to apply to puppies and dogs just starting out).

A few pictures of the double lift finals from this weekend. I couldn’t be more proud of my dogs. Wren for placing second in nursery at her first field trial, and Willow for pulling double duty and setting sheep for 4 straight days. Neither of my dogs let me down once. Thanks for having us out Wendy Schmaltz and the little friendly town of Mankota, Saskatchewan. Until next year!

Year and a half old Wren did us proud at Hilltop Sheepdog Trial, placing 2nd in both runs!

Morning commute was light traffic. Peaceful walks up to the day grazing pen.

Little Chip getting a quick taste of sheep at 3.5 months old. Very happy with what he shows! Confidence, calmness, style, a good amount of eye.

Lessons have started up again, we have a 50x50 starting pen, a 5 acre fully fenced field, and a 17 acre field work pasture.

07/17/2024

Thinking of having a field trial practice day at our new property: 17 acre field, pickup off horseback for those who want to try or practice. Farm flock ewes and lambs. 200-250 yard outrun. Let me know if there’s any interest and I’ll start building infrastructure!

Looking for a LGD for our small flock. Any litters out there?

Roadside grazing under supervision.

Beach day for Wren at Fork Lake, Ab.

04/15/2024

Evenings grazing the new growth and some of last years remnants pasture.

If trainers and handlers thought of the lie down as a gift that the dog gives you, they would ask for it differently. Does your dog run through your lie down? Are you demanding compliance? Or are you asking for a gift? There’s a difference, especially to your dog.
