Today we worked corners, I think 🤔 I may have finally figured out how to be authoritive
Process; cue go by or away, and get back. If she doesn't get back, stop her. Wave stick slowly at her shoulder. If she looks the right way praise her. If she doesn't say go on. If she barks tell her to knock it off. When she goes the right way praise and release pressure when she's where I want. Release body pressure, turn away.
When doing chores if she runs off, go to her and tell her to get out of there. Praise when she does. Give her choices and praise for the right decisions. Same with eating poop instead of working, let her know when she does right. Make the grey area clear.
Driving set up a drive from the corner. Ask her to walk up, if she flanks stop her. Reposition, walk up. Cue for a go by inside flank, turn My body 90 degrees, call to me use stick to cue go by. Try to avoid using name and give useful information.
Things needs to be lear- be sure to follow up with stick to stop her, no creep allowed.
Praise good work.
When out in field and she's letting the sheep get away take a couple of steps back to show her she needs to go get them.
