We said goodbye to our Miste yesterday. She was the star of our canine family. Here is a link to her backstory: https://dogschooling.com/about-us/our-border-collies/
During her 11 years with us wowed elementary school talent show audiences for granddaughters Lauren and Amanda. Miste was a favorite to read to in her more than 150 therapy dog assignments and was always eager to show off for a crowd. She was a TV commercial model: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M89s_7iDZzI And she was a comfort to us all.
She would have celebrated her 12th birthday next week. Now she’s across the rainbow bridge and no doubt chasing the rabbits, squirrels and birds that she loved in our front yard.

The ‘stand’ exercise
This exercise teaches the dog to focus on the task you have given – in this case get on your feet and remain in place. The lesson is part of teaching the dog to stay on task after you have given the dog an assignment.
The ‘Relax’ Exercise
This is part of the Puppy Kindergarten and Level 1 class curriculum
Amanda and Border Collie puppies
Granddaughter, Amanda, was present for the birth of a litter of Border Collie puppies and for each step of their first weeks of development – eyes open at two weeks, ears open at three weeks — and first solid food on their third week birthday.
