Flanking

Last friday was the first time I really felt like Kola and I were working together on the sheep. She's learning her flanking commands and I actually got her to reverse direction a couple of times and we managed to bring some sheep in. I was so jazzed.

Today I tried lunging Kola. It went allright, I guess. She's not moving off the stick very well, she sees it more as a potential toy than as a source of pressure. Still, we got some good circles and maybe I'll try another session this evening. Once she gets the circling idea then I can push more on the "out" idea. Next task after that will be getting the different gaits, I dont have a plan for that one yet.
