It's distraction proofing AND reality tv for cows!
No, we're not doing herding - we're proofing down and sit-stays with maintaining attention and focus while mum is at a distance (pics taken with 30x zoom) for several minutes and the cows just happen to decide to assist with distraction proofing.
"I know it's there and I'm ignoring it, I'm not falling for that old distraction and loosing my click!"
(Okay mostly... covert glance!) Meanwhile apparently watching us train is the cow equivalent of Big Brother and really, reeeeeally fascinating because they all come over and right up to snuffle.
Later on, while we were doing some of our herding dry work I didn't realize the curious cows had come over. Being hard of hearing and it being somewhat windy I had no idea there was a small group right behind me. Hope did and at one point when I went to send her around instead of going where I sent her, she went around behind me. I whirled around wondering if she hadn't lost her marbles only to see the cows fetching at me. Hope was very chuffed with herself after weeks of working dry only to FINALLY some real work! Little monster!
