Understanding sheep and their behaviour makes training your dog far easier
As we approach the tenth anniversary of the release of our double DVD set “First Steps in Border Collie Sheepdog Training“, we’re busy updating it in anticipation of releasing a second, even more comprehensive version in the near future.
A useful spinoff of this is that as each “First Steps” chapter is somewhere near completion, we can add it to our Sheepdog Training Tutorials Library so that our full members can benefit from the advice.
Full members will know that we’ve already uploaded “Sheepdog Selection and Preparation” and “The Sheepdog Whistle” and now we’re pleased to be able to tell you the chapter “Sheep – Essential Facts for Beginners” is available in the Tutorials Library.
As the title suggests, Sheep – Essential Facts for Beginners is packed with useful information which is not often available to those training a sheepdog for the first time.
As well as showing what sort of sheep are best for training, and which to definitely avoid, there’s advice on the legal side of sheep keeping, and how you might find a training ground if you don’t already have one.
There’s advice on the behaviour of sheep, too – it’s extremely useful to know when sheep are likely to stay in a neat bunch and when they’re probably going to make a run for it at high speed!
Whether you already have sheep but perhaps don’t understand why they behave the way they do, or you’re thinking about training a dog and simply wondering how to go about it, you’ll find some essential information in this “new” video tutorial.
