Sorta....at least worked 3 girls that havent been worked for awhile.
Jinx is a hoot to work and has more training on her than her 2 daughters but
still need to brush up on the foundation work and see where my holes are.
She does reach to catch the outside eye and squares off when asked. Need to
work on owning my space ( note to myself....I also need to work less sheep at a time with the girls )
Dare starts off trying to come in tight so need to work on our releases to stock, she comes to balance nicely and holds her stays now. She tends to be grippier of the 3 girls with a few splits.
Sting can be abit one sided but she blocks easy like her mom now ...it helps that she works off her stock more than her sister so I can be in a position to help her....also helps when a person isnt trying to wade through a flock of sheep
vs a few head :) I just have to be careful with my timing she doesnt flip away from the stock instead of squaring up properly.
Overall was pleased with all three training sessions with the girls. They are more than happy to pull them off the fence or out of corner,keep them grouped and content to come to balance with them on the fence / in a corner. They call off stock and reset up for a flank with no cheating to get to their stock.
We're off to a good start to finding our training groove again.
