Sue R Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 How come EVERYBODY else looks so young and so accomplished? Oh, yeah. I'm old and inept. Forgot about that! Hats off to all you youngsters and your lovely dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackacre Posted June 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Too kind, my young and impressionable friends. You know the real reason I'm projecting negligent cool is that inside I'm praying like mad that the bugger'll actually get around his sheep this time. Oh, and I just loooove having a flank command that goes: "Toby. TOBY. TOBY!! Here. HERE, Toby! Come-bye!" A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucknjill Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 So what? Thought that was how a flank was given? Just had a most excellent Libby evening...I feel almost cheerful, imagine that! (and gave many such flanks as you discribe with the addition of a whistle at the tail end of it cause doenst everyone teach verbal and whistles AND half flanks all at the same time? they are border collies after all!)

DeltaBluez Tess Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 >>doenst everyone teach verbal and whistles AND half flanks all at the same time? they are border collies after all!)<< and don't forget the arm waving and hand gestures for those Border Collies who have eyes in the back of their head....as if they could see these motions while driving the sheep AWAY!!!!

Tassie Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Oh no, not another young and accomplished handler!! Seriously ? way to go Toby (and Andrea of course ? I guess you helped!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipedream Farm Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 No No No, Sam doesn't do the arm waving, but she does try to transmit her "STOP, GOD DAMMIT!" command via vibration in the earth by stomping her foot.

blackacre Posted June 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 And then there's the hand patting the hip at the turn or when she wants the dog to come in. Aren't our unconscious quirks entertaining? A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipedream Farm Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 I found that I tip my head to one side when I miss panels; I've been doing a lot of head tippin these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
