Eileen Stein Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Within the next 24 hours, the Boards will be shut down briefly while the "Ask an Expert" feature from littlehats.net is moved to these Boards. For those of you not familiar with it, "Ask an Expert" is a stockdog training forum where an expert handler is "on call" to answer any training questions that anyone might care to post. This forum will be in the "Working Stockdogs" section of the Boards, and Jeanne Weaver has kindly agreed to be our first expert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 Devils Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Eileen, Â It is a great idea but you may want to make sure people realize it is for Herding Training and not obedience and such... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK dog doc Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Ooooh! THAT is rather cool! (Especially now that I might someday actually develop enough skill to HAVE questions...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Watch Debatable Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Cool! Â Â And it gave me an excuse to post Denise Wall's great sequence from Meeker 2005: the dog is Jeanne Weaver's Jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixie_Girl Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Luisa, thanks for posting those! That is awesome! It really looks like Jack is guiding the sheep on where to go. Sorta like an airplane flag man! Â Eileen, thanks for the new feature! And please pass along thanks to Jeanne Weaver! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LJS1993 Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Is there any way we can get Cesar Millan on here from time to time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Bo Boop Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Is there any way we can get Cesar Millan on here from time to time? Â Â Â Incoming! Everybody take cover! This is not a drill! I repeat this is not a drill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkie Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 yay awesome! i've seen similar stuff on other forums and they went very well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devi Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 What? Did I say something innappropriate? Â Among other reasons, Cesar Millan is NOT a sheepdog trainer!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LJS1993 Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Among other reasons, Cesar Millan is NOT a sheepdog trainer!!! Â Â True, but he would be good for behavior issues. For instance he really could have helped with Bindi while she was going through her problems awhile back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Bo Boop Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 What? Did I say something innappropriate? Â Â No, but ask the expert is primarily for stockdog type work....don't think CM would be much help in that regard. And actually I'm not sure he's held in that high regard on this board in general...

And actually I'm not sure he's held in that high regard on this board in general... Â I know plenty who think highly of him (me included). I highly doubt he'd be available, or willing to do it for free though. However, it would be neat to have an obedience sort of ask an expert.

Guest LJS1993 Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 ya think/ I'm pretty thick sometimes...ok, most of the time   I know he is not a sheepdog type of trainer. However I honestly think he could have been of assistance during the Bindi trials. I admit, I guess my timing was perfect as to look like I was kidding around, however I really think it would be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca, Irena Farm Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 BC Boards = "Ask the Expert" Â One would assume "Expert" in this context would be an expert in what we most value here, which is stockdog training. Â Now, anyone can visit and participate in discussions here, of course - the door's always open! Â Great work Eileen and Heather on getting it up and running so fast! Woo hoo!

Zoe Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 I love Ask the Expert ! I've just been looking at it. I don't work Dylan - we don't even "hobby-herd", but I know I am going to learn a lot. And spend even more time on the Boards............... oh dear ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
