A case for basic trianing
It seems like every time a stranger approaches me while I'm out training my dogs, they make some comment along the lines of "yeah, well my mutt is just a pet, he doesn't need all that fancy stuff." ...

I find the dogs like cross-driving better than the drive away (they can see the handler). The hard part for the dog is making the turn onto the cross-drive and then not fighting that line (they are used to bringing the sheep back); the handler has the harder part in learning how to "see" the line. Try driving with Buddy while walking off to his side (about 20') and then work on his flanks with you off to his side.
Our season is getting started and runs until Nov; in some regions there will be a lull during mid-summer due to the heat. For the past several years there have been more fall trials than spring trials.
