spy my collie is loving it, hes never been trained properly to whistles ect but he will go on hand signals, lol i feel like someone on a runway bringing in the next flight, he really looks forward to checking the sheep every day, i brought some galvanised hurdles and we round them up into them every day. he is seven now, we have a great bond, he is so trustworthy

the sheep look great, wish my dogs were helpfull when it comes to gathering my two in last year i tried the rugby tackle method of gathering, worked for one sheep but the other was to quick! I have started treat feeding to get them to follow me and it seems to be ok for now lets hope it works on the big day, it will save me carrying fully grown sheep around again, they are heavyier than they look?
