Well, I can either pay her for another four or eight weeks of lessons, and eventually start training on my own using her field when it's open. Or, I can find another trainer to go to. Right now, as much as I like our trainer as a person, I'm leaning towards finding a new one. I just don't know where. Not only is she the closest to me, and an hour away, she's the only one I found who teaches on weekends.
E.t.a. I actually do know of someone that's very close to my house (about 30 minutes away). But when I emailed him about an inquiry, asking him about his teaching methods and how I use marker training to get basic obedience down pat, he sent me a message back asking me how I expect to marker train the sheep.
What the heck? The sheep? I thought we were training dogs?

The trainer I am with now has some lovely Corgis coming out, there great little workers! Hope you and Conan find a trainer you enjoy working with and thank you for the video.
I remember my first few lessons, dizzy is an understatement!

Can you PM me with a name?
The video didn't work for me, so I'm wondering if you use a marker while working sheep???

Thanks everyone. We're definitely having fun trying! It'd be really cute to see some Papillons herd!
The markers have nothing to do with the sheep, but can help solidify the commands used in herding both on and off the field. I'm still pretty new to it. Bob Scott is the one who passed the great info on to me

Our little Cardigan loves herding! We haven't had any lessons in a while--we took about 12 classes a year ago (driving 90 minutes each way to get there...) But it was very fun--and astounding to me that the dog seems to already "know" what to do. In our case, the classes were more for the clumsy people than for the dogs! ;-)
