Hi there,
I have a two year old that is coming along nicely after somewhat of a rough start. Before I got her, she was allowed to run sheep without much direction. She was very wild and I had a hard time getting her to stop once she got locked onto a sheep. I have been working with her for about a year now and she is learning to be patient and wait for my direction. She works well close up on both voice and whistle commands(within about 100 feet of me) but she is not consistant with her down. The further out she gets, the less she wants to take the down. She goes on auto pilot and pretty much shuts me out until she gets within a certain distance of me. How can I get her to take commands at a distance without resorting to yelling?
Thanks
Debbie
