Right now, Mazikeen and I have been working on learning how to drive. We have had some setbacks when it comes to understanding how to move and gather cattle.

With cattle, she … More Herding with Erin: Road Trip Leg 4 – Mazikeen
Now, we are on the way to work Agility Nationals in Tulsa, OK. And I decided to stop at Tim Allisons House (in Dayton, TN) for another set of lessons.

So, at the Larry Clinic, we really hit the fundamentals hard on cattle. We have been working a lot of precision, fundamentals, and going around stock without biting them unless necessary. Also, stopping wherever I tell her to. So we headed out to Hog Dog in Maryland to work driving and stopping where I told … More Mazikeen: Driving Lessons
It is… no secret that I love working Mazikeen on cattle. She’s a tough little girl who gets kicked in the face a lot.
