Herding!

Okay, so this is more of me being excited and wanting to share than a question. We just got back from Conan's instinct test and first lesson, and he did really well! He flanked a few times perfectly, it was awesome. He was absolutely terrified of the sheep at first, and I was afraid it wouldn't work out. But when the sheep started running you could just see the instinct light bulb go off in his head! It was so cool! We're going every Sunday morning. The trainer is really nice and she said there is a Cardigan Corgi that comes out but wasn't able to come out this time. I wonder if they're members here! Any Cardigans that herd?

Anyway, great fun! I'm really looking forward to training and possibly trialing. If you've been thinking about it, I say give it a go!

Awww how great :) We're actually going on Mon to get the kids tested. I don't think Charlie will be a go because he doesn't have a 100% callback (we've been working on it). but I'm sure Roxi will be fine - just have to see if she has the herding instinct hehe. It'll be fun because my friend is coming with her two corgs :)

Conan doesn't have a 100% call back either, and we're working on it too. As well as his sit, down, and stand. Staying is a whole new story haha! We're start working on that after we get everything down pat. He's great at home, but in front of sheep? No way. He looks when we call him like "Why should I go over there? These sheep are way cooler!"

Have a great time! I'm sure they'll do just fine :)
