I realized something.......

I suck as a handler.

It's been too many years between training dogs, maybe it's old age creeping up. I should have stuck with it from the beginning. I'm about 2-3 seconds too slow. By that time, when I say my command, the sheep have already moved out of the position I wanted them. The trial will be a mess. I'm looking forward to it and on the other hand, thinking of withdrawing. I need help! Only one more lesson to go.

  1. Don't withdraw! Many of us aren't good handlers. Visualize where you want the sheep to be 2 secs before you need to do it, and ask for that from your dog.
