farm training

Felt pretty bad all day before the last farm training session.

Strangely once we got there after a few blips Spikey worked very well. I did lots of obedience with him between runs and he approached calm at some points! He was knocking poles, so I got the timing just right after one pole down and stopped him so he knew I didn't want him doing it. Guess what no more poles down for the rest of the evening. He really does try! I left feeling much better than when I started.

Ben was Ben, and met everybody in his usual relentless way. He is now registered with the KC as Billabong Ben. Pretty pleased to get that name. Oddly someone told me on Tuesday it would be a good name. They claimed not to know I had applied for that about 3 weeks before. Life's strange sometimes.
