Izzy and I practicing for Collie National Speciality show in mid-April. I'm doing something wrong but not sure exactly what, however her and I have come a long way in a couple short weeks.
Nice free stack, and nice getting her to use her neck. I think the only "fault" I had was you need to move her a little quicker, or try to really make it exciting to get her more willing to move. But she looks great
Hi Meags! welcome to my blog =) The movement is what bothers me too. I've been trying everything, next time out I'm taking squeak toys and steak! The other thing I see is I'm not stopping far enough ahead of her. Not sure how to fix that one.
Could it be that you keep looking at her, instead of looking forward, like we're supposed to do when riding, so as to not impede our horses' forward motion?
I don't know. But it sure is great to see you and Izzy working together. You look great!
You can't prove it by me if you're doing something wrong. Looks good, but I know nothing about showing dogs.

It looks really good! And it looks so much warmer there than here :)
