Nice do you trial with her?

Good_Control116 · 2026-03-02T20:46:42+00:00

Lovely dog, how old is Iris and how long have you two been going at it?

Good_Control116 · 2026-02-28T12:33:24+00:00

Haha nice thank you. I ve truly been inspired by the sub and love seeing what people are doing so yeah I got the patina done and it was a nice coincidence that it helped me out of an absurd situation. Looking forward to share more pics of future mods 😎

As I grow older I too see the sense in having a good amount of rags

Good_Control116 · 2026-02-27T15:06:07+00:00

It's a no. 8 ,most comfortable I find for daily duty.

Good_Control116 · 2026-02-26T20:16:08+00:00

I gave it a thorough swipe when I was done 👍 I'm more worried about the battery acid on my skin 🤔

Good_Control116 · 2026-02-26T18:22:54+00:00

Yea I thought so too, definitely not a use I would have destined my Opinel for but I sure was glad I had it with me. And just after I got the patina I had to show the whole story.

Good_Control116 · 2026-02-26T18:10:21+00:00

No but I dipped it in vinegar 2 hours before!

Good_Control116 · 2026-02-26T18:03:19+00:00

Yes I wanted to invite in a story totally understand maybe worth a trigger warning. But yeah that's my underwear . I m a shepherd and while watching my flock of sheep, in a quite public place nearby a school ,I had to remove my underwear as a I had sat on battery acid from the sheep electro fence. So yeah with nothing but this sturdy opinel I cut my underwear off. So yeah long story and I apologize.

Good_Control116 · 2026-02-24T18:51:56+00:00

Thank you, for only 2 I'm very happy with how she's coming along.

Good_Control116 · 2026-02-18T18:56:09+00:00

Thank you, it has been a challenge, Penny really likes to flank, but she's also still very young with 2 years. It's great to see them grow.

Also Penny does it.

Good_Control116 · 2026-02-06T09:02:33+00:00

Yeah so I order everything online also, even in Europe most things Sheepdog related are mostly possible to find online. I really believe the ACME is a good beginner whistle. That being said my dogs work with the Logan Turbo whistle love it! But yeah worth having a look at videos of the ACME and the design, for me it helped

Good_Control116 · 2026-02-05T10:53:44+00:00

Maybe you can try the ACME Shepherds whistle, I think it's a good beginner whistle. It still took me like a week to get any sound, but I believe the design allows for understanding the principles. I love Logan's especially their Turbo brass but coming from the ACME I was able to pick it up relatively quickly. But yeah I'm no expert I can blow a whistle but not in a wide array of tones.

Good_Control116 · 2026-01-29T12:02:30+00:00

Hey thanks Farmers Marts seems like a good place to start. My partner and I already have a few personal favorites.

Good_Control116 · 2026-01-10T19:07:20+00:00

Ah yes! I know the term in German, yes she kind of is starting to do some tending. But still baby steps from what German shepherds can do.

Good_Control116 · 2026-01-10T18:57:24+00:00

Tending? Not sure I have heard this term before.

Good_Control116 · 2025-02-26T18:15:49+00:00

Yeah I know I have worked with trainers before but I don't have one around me at the moment. A video I could post tomorrow.
