Featured Tutorial: The Training Area

IS YOUR TRAINING GROUND A HELP, OR A HINDERANCE?

The training area can make or break the early training sessions. It might feel like hard work, but taking the time to round off the corners and clear some obstacles makes it easier for your dog to succeed and will pay dividends in saving your time and temper.

A SAFE HAVEN! It takes a confident, skilled dog to get sheep out from under an overgrown hedge like this! Sheep are very quick to take advantage of any refuge they find when being pursued by an untrained dog.

We examine the training area on our “First Steps in Border Collie Sheepdog Training” DVD (no longer available). You can now find it, with a few changes and the addition of optional English and Spanish subtitles, as The Training Area tutorial in the tutorial library.

The Training Area looks at how to adapt the space you have available and suggests some alternatives, including using sheep hurdles to build a temporary training ring, when the corners and obstacles are beyond your control.
