Wondering what to teach your sheepdog, and when?
Is there a perfect sheepdog training programme? Our “What Shall I Do Next?” tutorial shows a logical order of training to build on your dog’s skills.
We explain how everything in sheepdog training progresses from small beginnings. It’s vital to get the foundations right, and then widen the dog’s experience and hone its skills through practise.
The tutorial will show you some important basics for your sheepdog puppy before you make any contact with the sheep. Developing a strong bond between the two of you, establishing a good recall and (hopefully) a secure stay will make later training easier.
Early lessons with the sheep will concentrate on getting your dog to go around the sheep, and to keep them close to you (rather than chasing them away). This will form the basis of developing an outrun and gather.
Make haste – slowly
To borrow an old horse training maxim, “Make haste, slowly”, but don’t be afraid to introduce something new and tricky from time to time, to maintain the dog’s interest and excitement.
Watch “What Shall I Do Next?” from the online tutorials library. Our sheep and herding dog tutorials are the only videos we know that deliberately show you training sessions and situations that go WRONG as well as right.
We’ll prepare you for sheepdog training on your own by showing you what to expect, and how to make the best of it.
