6 dogs, 4 SSS and 2 SH's -5 miles. Video of our finish .. Interesting run in with 3 deer, we came over a rise and about ran into them, 2 ran right, 1 left.. this confused Xaros at lead with Achilles enough that I went from whoa to onby and got them running on with out so much as stopping ... Xaros is sill to independent.. Starts out snarfing at Achilles a bit then settles in but is looking around a lot, turns around on stops to interact with team... I will move him to swing for a while, and run Achilles single lead, Swing's can learn by following instead of Achilles having to Shove and pull.. and blowing commands..
Not going to try and push lead on a SSS, Best to let them learn running in the team for the short term... They have not been here long enough to place me as "The Boss" Need that before I can get a real lead training routine going..
