Just wondering if Lynn will be in Spokane for lessons again this year.  I have a young dog that I would like to get started sometime this spring.  She goes with me daily to do chores, and shows some good instincts.  I’ve been praising the good things (circling the whole flock for instance, or waiting calmly for the odd sheep to rejoin the flock) and correcting the undesirable things (like any tendency to chase or floss).  She watches and learns with the older dogs.  All that to say, she will have a good solid base when she is old enough for real lessons.  I think she’s got enough potential that I want to make sure I start her right.  ;-)
