This morning I met Bluto, a 7mth old Serra da Estrela mountain dog. Seven months and still growing !
He came for my sheep chasing course, but ended up leaving without every seeing a fluffy white creature.
Instead, he left with more respect for his owner than when he first arrived.
Seeing this young but powerful dog climb out of the car, oblivious to his owner, showed me he had no regard for him whatsoever.
On the basis that no successful training will happen unless there is respect, I went about showing the owner how to achieve this. Once he'd mastered it, he left to practice the lesson in his home environment.
But this won't be the last I see of Bluto - don't forget, I still have to make him know what he can and can't do when confronted by sheep.
