whatevah Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 I went to this today and due to the bad weather they ran it for free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I found some interesting things about Tia. I had her working well with the sheep. I then let Phil have a go and she wasn't too bad. We had a female instrucing us. She didn't work as well with my husband and have as much confidence as she does with me but she got the idea after a little while. Later on Phil had another go with her but with a male instructor Tia seemed just to sit and stare at the sheep not much going on at all. Then I had a go with her and she was back and confident again. Have worked out she prefers to work with me and prefers female instructors to males. I also noticed at the Paul McPhail work shop she didn't work well when he was in there with us but when a female instructors was in there with us, she worked much better. Also today I went into the pen with Phil attached to the back of me, thinking that she would work well with me being there and once working well I would quietly slink away and she would be left working with Phil, but the idea didn't work. We had a good day, but I left early as I was so tired and fell asleep in the car on the way home, I wasn't driving. We even had a go at getting Tia to move sheep from pen to pen, the hardest part was managing all the gates. But was fun. Phil said he enjoyed this much more then watching the dogs at flyball.
