Thanks everyone!

Pam, first I put Max and Rip in sit stays, then I put Em and Clipse infront of them in down stays. Then I took Mason and told him to lie down and stay, then Ginger. Then it was "staaaaay" ...."uh-uh"...."staaaaaay"....."uh-uh"...."staaaaay"......."aaaaah!"......."staaaaaaa y"........
Moving back slowly with every stay and forward with every "uh-uh" or "aaaah!"
The herding dogs were fine they've all been obedienced trained. The dobes were a challenge. Ginger kept pushing her butt up (as you can see in the pic binka_nigget reposted) and everytime I went back to put her back in position Mason thought he was going to get in trouble (he's a very soft dog) and he'd creep slowly sideways. That's why he's so far away from the first pic to the last pic.

Anna, when I pet sit I stay at the dog's house. I live at home so can't take dogs in here. So yes I get paid to stay at other people's houses and eat other people's food. LOL When I was double booked with the aussies I put the dobes to bed at their house (they sleep in their crates) and then slept at the aussie's house. When I got up the first thing I did was go get the dobes and bring them over to the aussies.

cloverfdx, I've seen a few aussies here with prick ears. Max was shown as a pup, but they couldn't get his ears to stay tipped, so they gave up and just let him be a pet and do some obedience. It's hard to see in the pics, but the tops of his ears do kind of fold, but they aren't fully tipped by any means.
