Beginner Introduction to Herding Fun Day

We learned more than you can imagine about dog instincts and obedience and it was one of the most fun days we have shared with Mollie.  In this photo Mollie is in the pen under the studentship of Tenley Dexter, and Mollie is being guided to fetch the sheet.  After a few minutes in the pen, it was very clear that Mollie has what it takes to become an excellent herding dog.

She moved so swiftly.  The rake is used to guide Mollie.

Mollie got the hang of herding sheep right away.

Mollie loves to run and play fetch the ball.

The one thing Mollie loves more than anything is running, especially if a ball is involved.  In these photos we are at the Rocky Hill Dog Park, in April, on a sunny, warm, spring afternoon.  Mollie is learning to wait until we say, "GO" before she leave our side to run after the ball.  She is now 10 1/2 months old and time goes by too quickly.
