The name of this blog comes from the book that we have good intentions about writing, about escapades of border collies and sheep....that are memorable enough to be called "one for the book". It will also contain memories and updates of dogs, sheep and people, past and present.

It has been hard to convince Cap to drive. But in this sequence we are getting somewhere. It's true, that he does turn and look at me for guidance. I am not letting this bother me. I am doing the least, most minimal encouragement (slap my leg, cluck to him like a horse, take a step forward) as I can to get him to move forward. At times I give him another command -- which I am attempting to minimize. This training method is for the long haul but I believe it will pay off in rewards down the road. It also helps to have sheep who will move out willingly, like these Rambouillet ewes dog. Grateful!
