Don Couch Clinic

This was a great clinic, just built for Usher and myself. The sheep were pretty light in the morning but got heavy in the afternoon for the maltese cross. Sorry no pics of that. Usher was pretty amped, as usual. We only used a 3 sided pen. Here we are "reading" the sheep. Noticing which way the heads and ears are turned.
Once the sheep are in the proper position, it takes little work from the dog and the handler to get the sheep penned pretty easily. Patience is a virtue.

Here the sheep are all the way in. It paid off and Usher's hard work and my listening worked well. It is nice to live in an area where so many good trainers are out there.


Thanks Don. I learned a lot and it was fun.
