Showing cutting horses is a passion of mine. My best turnback help in the practice pen is my dog Spot. He is always willing to work and never has a long list of other priorities. I usually use him and 2 or 3 young dogs to gather and pen the cattle. Then he is ready to help me work my horses. When I get ready to make my cut, he will stop the herd; and has figured out to push the rest out of the way when I get one singled out. Then, upon command, he will push the one cow back to me and even bring it off the fence if needed. I really depend on him and he is there, come rain or shine.

Spot is holding the cattle so I can make my cut,
otherwise they would all just make a big circle in the pen.
The cow is working good, so he is watching and waiting.  
When the calf moves off to one side, he will apply enough 
pressure to hold it on a straight line.
