Tell Me Thursday #14

What obstacles have you overcome this week, how did you learn from them?


Crue and I accomplished a lot towards overcoming our big obstacle. We had a lesson with Scott Glen on Tues and made some serious headway on overcoming our weaknesses. Crue's weakness was not understanding what I want of him and being a bit insecure about going between the sheep and fence. My weakness was asking him to do it in no uncertain terms and not giving him a chance to figure it out on his own. So now I am asking him to think about it and letting him know any effort on his part is ok with me.
It was a really good lesson and I feel I took away new insight in dealing with Crue.
My student and friend also took her dog for a lesson. She also made great strides in overcoming her dog's main obstacle, which was running too tight. Scott gave us some good things to work on with her dog as well.
I learned to not be so stringent in my way of asking Crue for things.
Thanks Scott!
