The sheep were cooperative- Blanche's arch nemesis, the brown-headed sheep, was nowhere around.
She's making the sheep stick too close to me by coming too close to them. Hit the ground in front of her with the stick. Her shoulder should be pointed away from the sheep so she makes a wider arc behind and around them. We practiced making turns, and getting her to "Get back!" to avoid splitting the sheep. Had a few good fetches where the sheep walked slowly and were relaxed.
Practicing "steady", where she walks up slowly.
