Okay then... so both Ursula and I headed up to Diane Pagel's farm for 2 hours of lessons with Derek yesterday. We both had things we were hoping to work on... I'm trying to find ways to stretch Cap out so he will look for sheep at 400 yards and Ursula is looking for ideas about starting Wile and driving with Pete. We had both met Derek at trials and such but had never worked with him so were wondering how things might go...
Straight to the point it was worth every moment of our time. He was full of ideas about how to get our dogs to understand what we are asking and very reasonable regarding what to expect. We both came away with new tools for the tool box and a set of things to work on in coming weeks. I came away refreshed and invigorated with Cap. It didn't hurt that he found his sheep over 300 yards away with one redirect. I was a very happy camper!
There is a good chance Derek will be back to Diane's in November. We will announce it here once it is confirmed. If you get a chance, definitely get a lesson from Derek.
