haha sounds like an intermittent electrical fault in a vehicle doesn't do it all the time but usually when it's the least convenient.

Currently dealing with an intermittent electrical fault in the car and your right it’s very much the same!
Thinking back to yesterday and I do think making her run down the farm to get the cows may have helped, she was more settled and too tired to muck around so done her job properly. Might be the trick. Will continue with some more work at home on her basic training and keep her well worked and “tired”. She’s the sort of do who will go all day. I could be on the side of a ridiculous huge steep paddock, point to the top and say go back and I can almost guarantee she will find a way to get to the back and run as fast as she possibly can to get behind the stock. She’s insane and just loves it. She’s only tiny 20kg or something.
