Usually when I have a dog training crash I have to admit that it is my fault for not thinking things through and communicating more effectively with the dog or jumping in there to help the dog make the correct decision. Today was no exception. I set Pearl on the geese to move them. But, it is her instinct to round up strays and bring them to the larger group, not bring the larger group to the stray! So instead of going for the big group of geese she went after my poor old Alex, the way "over-loved" only girl in the group who was off by herself for some relaxation. I should have blocked Pearl so she had to go to the group. Alex is very skinny right now so she immediately became airborne and flew over the fence into the neighbor's yard. We walked over and got Alex and I clipped her wings.
