Trick, pressure on pressure off creating movement. Stock sense.

Trick handling jobs on his own. Minimal commands, keeps the mob calm and rewards forward movement.

Proud of the boys today. 5 th in novice for chisel. 3rd in the open for Glint, on extremely tuff sheep. Both dogs had to dig deep at times, but got around the course each time they went out.

Stockmans Trick, 11 months old, handling all types of jobs on his own now.
Love his can do attitude.

Many hands/paws make light work of drenching when it’s hot. Rotate often.

Good times when the seasons pups join the team on the job.

Nice flow. 👌

This Ewe though she could avoid being drenched by jumping out and bolting for the mob.
Well done Glint. It’s hard to handle one on its own especially when others are in view. 💪👌

It’s great when a 14 month old pup comes into the team and work with minimal comands.
Kate has come through puppy training and is working big jobs on her own and in a team and working to a great standard for her age.
Nice outside feel and biddable. Also politely tells the last protective mum to move on with the mob staying in a playable frame of mind.

Kate and Glint finished drafting lambs for marking.

Ewes and lambs can be difficult to handle sometimes. Taking them through a paddock and gateway they have never seen before adds another element.
Becky just guiding them along and keeping the units together.
