A new perspective

Maya is driving sheep up the hill way in the distance as Finn watches
in the foreground. Watching and working young dogs on these hills is
bringing a wonderful new perspective and nuance to how "the work"
teaches the dogs...and the handlers!

It is astounding to witness the youngsters quickly evolving and
becoming more mature as they process their experiences. As Nancy says:
the dogs will press their handlers to step up to a higher level in
order to keep pace with the brilliance of the dogs.

Today we'll try longer gathers and more shedding - can hardly wait!
