Rogie in class with Megan

Patiently waiting for her turn....

Walk at Bourne woods

Koda, Wizz, Violet and I went to Bourne Woods with Sarah and her collie Missy. We had a great time and the sun was out and it was just a lovely afternoon. But after such a long walk (over 2.5 hours) the boys and Violet still weren't tired! Unbelievable as my dogs ran 4 times as much as we walked and Missy was tired on the way home and had a snooze in the car. At home Koda was sure he needed to go for another walk as he said hello to Rogue and Gyp and then ran back to the front door with this questioning look "Are we going for walkies now?" Ungrateful little sod ;-)

Missy found this stick in the water. We do not throw sticks for dogs as it is dangerous!

Leslie heelwork training, session 1

Leslie in action, first training session...she is having a wonderful time!

Leslie

Leslie keeps asking for heelwork so she can earn some sweeties. She sees it works for the horse (see his blog for more about him) and quite likes the idea of being trained with the clicker. So while all other sheep keep grazing on the other field, I am being stalked by Leslie, as she follows me around everywhere and keeps going into the heelposition. However when she does so, I do get a bit of a horn pricking in my leg......have to figure out how to make her do heelwork without that. Horns are beautiful but can be a pain sometimes......literally!

Below a picture of Leslie after she has stolen a bit of Zeb's haylage from the storage shed, after she walked in there with me......Isn't she cute?!!!
