Besides training for the herding arena, we have been going to Agility(pre agility) class at Dallas Dog Sports. Mo is incredibly smart. A trait this breed is known for; as is the independent thinking which sometimes gets her in trouble! :-) It has been very interesting learning new techniques. I was used to Kohler methods and choke chains, but this has been all positive reinforcement .... Clicker training. All I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!! For anyone that doesn't know what I'm talking about, do some research. It is absolutely amazing watching the dog's mind working, learning the commands and tasks and loving it!!! Mo is a natural. She is very athletic and appears to be catching on quickly.
