Here is a photo taken by Tish Pollock at herding camp last week at Brigands Hide Out. The coach in the field with me is Dave Viklund. We are practicing what is called a flank. It teaches the dog to be out far enough to turn the sheep the direction the human part of the team is asking. One of the things that is hard for Enslow to get is to stay far enough away from the sheep so that they are not too nervous (runnning), but close enough that they are moving the direction I want. That is your herding lesson for today. I mostly wanted to share the picture. It was taken Thursday and it was nearly 70 degrees that day! Any day in the field is a good day, days like that are spectacular!
