That morning was a bit busy, so the morning walk was short, too short. I didn't think beyond my nose. In the herding training the dog had a lot of power and speed, which I as a shepherd could not calm i.e. I got really frustrated. The coach at the edge of the fence shouts, you're always a second late, fix it, don't get nervous. During a SECOND, a miserable second, during that second, the dog had time to run, move or not move, it actually neither listened nor obeyed any of my commands properly, and since I was one second late the whole time, the sheep, five of them, gathered really tightly around my legs, so I could not move and was more late in my doings. I understand now anyone who has lost the race by a second or a hundredth, really frustrating!
Well, on the way home, I brought her behavior up and asked why did she do what she did, to which the dog that why should she obey me and the question mark after the sentence was bigger than the dog itself. And she continued that she knows more about shepherding than I do. Okay! What did I do then? Well, the same method as with children: blackmail. That if her behavior doesn't change, this joy is short lived, this hobby is so expensive. Next time I had a totally different dog, but guess how long :).
The photo has been taking in a training where she really showed the best of her.
