Everything is a training opportunity!

It's not a great pic but this is what's been going on in the field this morning. Guys have been hoisting up huge reels onto the insulators to pull through the new cables this week. There are guys actually sat ON the electric wires, you have to admire that for a job! Anyway I think the great thing about clicker is it encourages you to view everything positively as some sort of training opportunity. So whilst they were between jobs I just encouraged Star to have an investigate of the big noisy tractor parked next to the fence and reinforced her for that. Bless her she's been really good with all these vehicles roaring about. Tomorrow she's going to have to be down the sheep's paddock by 8am when they start the pulling. She and I are not allowed under the wires between 8am and 6pm so it's going to be early starts for a couple of weeks to make sure Star is safely out of the way and all the mucking out and water's are all done.
