Saber did a fantastic job today. My goal was to focus on turns. I've been working on trying to make them tighter and reading her. She had a strong start and excellent first turn. Really all of her turns were pretty good.
At one point (3:55 in video) she gets distracted by people arriving and boarding a little bus. However she got back to work with minimal prompting.
Around 6:00 in the video we have a detangle. I was able to call her back to me, untangle her and she got right back to work.
She had to cross a gravel road twice. The first time she didn't bat an eye. The second time she had to cross a little water in a drainage ditch the go up the bank and cross the road. It took her a couple of minutes to work that out (~7:30). The water was no problem the gravel crossing seemed to throw her. I wanted follow her across where she eventually crossed but she seemed to change her mind last minute. We almost went the wrong way but she did eventually work back and across. Leigh had a very strategically placed article after the crossing.
She finished strong. I need to work up to getting this dog at 4 hours.
