    Hi Andy,
    I noticed in this tutorial that you use the dogs name alot as you are trying to get the sheep into the pen.

    Are there times during training a new pup that using their name should be avoided when giving commands? .. and why are you saying her name such alot when putting the sheep into the pen? Thanks

    1. Using the dog’s name repeatedly is a way of exciting the dog. I’m trying to build the dog’s confidence.
      I can’t see any reason for not using the dog’s name, but if the dog is already over-confident or perhaps too excited, rapidly repeated commands (or repeated use of the dog’s name) will make it more excited. It’s not the name, it’s the excitement in your voice which tends to excite the dog.
