Following me to the field....

Because it was so hot tonight we just did some control work in walk and slow trot.  She was backing around bollards, going sideways, backing up into small gaps and generally being amazingly good at listening to my body requests and understanding.  We have come a long, long way from when I used to ask her to do something, if she didn't understand, she'd stop and bite at her own chest.  And that was asking her for simple movements.  Now she's going sideways, diagonally, trot to stop, stop to trot, backwards around a cone.  Was well impressed with her.
And the packing is finished bar the kids, carer(s) and food!
