wow! We've done 10 herding lessons already! Did we improved?? Hmm..Koto still run into sheep, barks at them, still challenging dean if she can take over total control out of him and delay to his commands. She is not bad though, but not good. Not really improving as much as other working dogs. I did record on video but it was pretty chaotic herding (no.. chasing!)
We have been trying to understand and studying more sheep herding by internet, books and videos. I found BC breeder and sheepdog trainer in England called "Astra Sheepdog centre" they provide seminar of "Natural Canine Communication." Essential skill for the beginner handler as it ensures a quick understanding of the complex and almost invisible communication between the dog and sheep.
it is easy, stress and pain free way for both dog, handler and sheep to train a sheepdog to understand each other, and learn its craft in a natural stress and panic free way.
I am absolutely interested in this seminar. well it is too far to attend so I am still researching about this. I really want to Koto to be thinking dog and don't want her to feel anxious and worried about making mistakes. Her confidence and focus is getting stronger than before since we started "complete correction free" life.
The excesice we will start with Koto this week: using long stick and soccer ball to teach over, away, quick response to command and self control around excitable object!
ハーディングレッスンは今回で10回目でした。10回やってみて何か目に見えた変化があったのでしょうか？もちろん私生活や私達との関係には変化が見られます。でもパートナーと話し合ってもやはり琴ちゃんの羊を追う体勢や行動はあまり変わっていない様子。まだ全速力で走るし吠えるし冷静に判断できない、お 陰で私達も真剣に本や映像でハーディングの勉強中。イギリスのアストラシープドッグセンターというBCブリーダー、羊犬トレーナーのセミナーでナチュラル ケーナインコミュニケーションというセミナーのを見つけました。羊犬人間の自然な行動学を理解し、お互いに慣れ、ストレスやパニックの無い関係を築く練習 をする様です。興味しんしん！琴は感受性の高い子なのでいかにマイルドなコレクション（ショックカラーもNG）も「間違えたら怒られるぅ」という感じで臆病になります。コレクションフリー(Noやeh ehもNG）の生活に変えてから めまぐるしく彼 女の自信とやる気がパワーアップした事と、彼女の集中力の強さに毎日驚かされます。琴にはとても良さそうな内容なので、リサーチしてもっと勉強します
We did agility practice at Kepala too.
we did 2x2 pole entry practice, contact practice and just made her to feel agility is fun! Well.. the end of the day She's got 3 breeding pads. Poor koto, She is totally in a pain and is in bed all day. Terrible terrible mum..hope she will learn to not to run too quickly.
ハーディングスクールの向いにアジリティレンタルコートがあります。１時間5ドルなので2x2、コ ンタクトの練習をしてきました。でも！ー琴のパットがぱっくりはがれてました。２週間続けて３本も。今日は全くベットから動きません,珍しく酷い疲れ方。遊びすぎた。。
