Featured Tutorial – The Perfect Stop!

Improve the stop of your herding cattle or sheepdog without damaging the dog's confidence

Can you improve a sheepdog’s stop without damaging its confidence? Of course you can!

A dog that stops instantly, on command, is a great asset on any livestock farm. The most common fault among working sheepdogs is that they’re too eager, and their handler cannot stop them precisely when and where they’re needed. On the other hand, if your training is too intense you can damage a sensitive dog’s confidence.

“The Perfect Stop” tutorial shows you how to improve your dog’s stop while maintaining, or even building, its confidence.

Andy admits he nearly ruined his first dog Dot by “over training” her.

The tutorial also explains why Andy uses the “Lie down” command in preference to “Stand”, why he prefers his dogs to remain standing when they stop, and why he doesn’t always want the dog to stop when he gives it the “Lie down” command!

Confusing? Watch the tutorials, and all will become clear.

This tutorial video will give our members lots of guidance for building the dog’s confidence and encouraging it to work steadily.
