		<description><![CDATA[I have addressed how to train the flanks &#38; stops.  Now we turn to the other important command:  &#8220;Walk up&#8221;. Think of this command as the Power Button.  Remember, the flanks do NOT move sheep, just reposition the dog.  When he is in the correct position, he should move into the flight zone (contact point) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been driveling on about the importance of a &#8220;flank&#8221; to move sheep appropriately.  However, the other element necessary, just as important, is the &#8220;stop&#8221;.  It&#8217;s not for the reason one would surmise.  Stopping the dog does NOT stop sheep, especially if they have a draw to go to.  The stop serves TWO purposes: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been droning on and on about the importance of the dog really knowing &#8220;right&#8221; vs &#8220;left&#8221; and the distance they should be from the sheep.  Now I am adding &#8220;Squaring&#8221;.  What are square flanks?  Why important? The flank is not always a circle.  It is a left or right turn THE DOG MAKES [...]]]></description>

This is similar to the PT course in AKC.  I wish to take a moment and address how best to run these courses as I have seen many a wreck that was unnecessary.  Proper approach to the sheep would have eliminated much [...]]]></description>
