[QUOTE="Howdyjabo, post: 1088812, member: 391"] Think of commands as ways to change things the dog is already doing. After each command the dog should be going back to auto control until it hears a new command. Sometimes that means that there are no commands all the way to the other extreme of constant commands. But the dog should always have a default that it goes to on its own in the absence of a command. I have two defaults- one is to bring stock to me, the other is to take cattle to the pens. The dogs can figure out pretty quick which one I am after- then I leave them alone unless needed. [/QUOTE]
