Doll and Prion are doing great with their recall work-- I've been calling them each several times on our adventures outside and rewarding with treats. Both dogs were great hiking with our young children. They did not try to herd them in any way, even when both children ran past them. I've been working with both dogs on ski-joring, but with a bicycle (no snow right now!), attached to our other border collie who pulls like a champ. They both are getting it and seem to enjoy pulling in a harness.
Prion LOVES chasing balls. She's happiest when she can have two or three to play with. I am very impressed with how gentle she is when our young children play fetch with her; she drops the ball for them and doesn't crowd them when they pick it up to throw it again. Doll isn't as excited about playing fetch (probably because Prion steals her ball!), but she did enjoy our agility session learning to run through a tunnel. She will do anything for a treat!
