Another big breakthrough!

We had a thrilling Sunday afternoon. Hubby brought his BC Daisy and I brought Moto out for a herding lesson. Daisy's been the superstar, remembering everything and working very nicely for Erik. In the beginning of herding Moto has been pretty unimpressive and making slow progress. But our instructor suggested moving Moto into a bigger area with more sheep and he's been improving by leaps and bounds. In this video, while it's not pretty, he is RUNNING and going around the sheep which is thrilling for us! Our second time out later on that day was even better than what is shown here. I'm elated! Blitz is still holding healthy and we're moving forward with showing him in Rally Novice this weekend. I just hope I hold up my end of the bargain and don't do something stupid to NQ us or cause a major point loss. I know he will be wonderful. After this weekend I will monitor Blitz closely to see if this will cause him to deteriorate. I hope not - it would be great to pursue a Rally career since for him it requires no training.
