The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Wayne and Jake waiting for the sheep to be set

The Good: Fast Forward to the end of the run, a text book pen

Could be bad: Jake starts his outrun, a little direct

The Good: Jake Starts to Bend out Away from the Sheep

The Good: What the sheep were doing that caused the bend "Dog!"

The Bad: Jake comes in "hot" forgetting to hesitate which would have created a nice lift

The Bad: Wayne missed identifying this moment, "Tell him 'Lie-Down', NOW!!!!"

The Ugly: Wayne didn't tell him to stop, the sheep are lifted at high speed.

Then it got Uglier (sorry no pictures): Jake paniced and ringed the sheep quick to get them to stop, luckily no grip and Wayne was able to regroup.

The Good: A really nice drive, we don't just lie our dogs down and let the sheep float through.

I want the dog to steer, hold the weight of the sheep against the draw and apply what ever pressure needed to keep forward motion, it's a lot tougher in arena trials such as this.
