I will have to re-evaluate my training and see if I really am too strict

a

All you trainers out there, tell me what you think.

Laura, I saw this on sheep. When I first went herding I brought my gal with
a UD, my current special and two 7 month olds. The 7 month olds were
totally uninhibited and worked on instinct. That first day, I could have been
on
the moon for all they knew. The breed dog had a blast but checked in with me
and the gal with the UD looked like she wanted direction and thought maybe
the whole thing was one big proofing exercise. By the end of the day the
breed dog and the obedience dog forgot all about checking in and instinct and
drive took over in a big way. (Poor sheepies!) I think another time or two and
you gal won't be checking in as much but there will come a time when you'll be
glad the foundation is there:) Although once my "obedience" dog saw how
much fun it was to work (more or less) independently, I never did get her back
all the way <VBG>. And...I could never give the older dogs to anyone else to
work.
Enjoy!
