My Aussie responded to hand signals, and enjoyed showing off-she was purchased from a kennel that bred and sold Aussies for AKC shows and herding competitions, and actual work. They used only hand signals for directing their dogs in competitions, claiming it kept the dogs from being distracted in herding trials.
They had a room full of trophies, so there might have been something to that...
No matter how very intemerate
Politicians would like to be
All committed indescretions-
And maybe even two or three
Some are arrogant and callous
And just outrageous to see-
Some are common, and railed at
By people who just don’t agree
They whine, pout and refuse to vote
For anyone with no halo or wings-
With elevated noses, they’ve helped
To make the current mess of things
And we all know at least a few of those people who are so certain of their holiness...
There is a lot to be said for not being dependent on devices like clickers and food, which are not always accessible, like voice(most of the time) and hand signals. A+ for you. Sunny and cold here, right at freezing.
