First Steps in BORDER COLLIE SHEEPDOG TRAINING - teaching herding dogs

This is a preview of our brand new 2xDVD sheepdog training program First Steps in Border Collie Sheepdog Training - a training DVD for beginners which shows you how you can start to train a dog for farm, trials or ranch working with the absolute minimum help from other people.

If you are interested in training a dog to work sheep, a smallholder, potential sheepdog trialler, hobby sheep keeper, smallholder, farmer or even a budding sheep rancher this 2xDVD set, clearly explains the natural instinct of the Border Collie Sheepdog and how (with patience, determination and simple preparation) it can easily be programmed to develop into a really useful working dog.

The time honoured (and probably easiest) method of starting a young dog is to use an experienced dog to keep the sheep in the middle of the field. But this method's of no use to beginners who don't have an experienced dog (or access to one), so in First Steps in Border Collie Sheepdog Training the dogs are all trained WITHOUT THE USE OF AN EXPERIENCED DOG.

I don't have a dog nor need to learn this, but it's entertaining to watch anyway 😂

I have used his techniques at sheep herding classes, and they have worked wonders for me, really improved my job as a handler. In my opinion, Andy Nickless is and excellent teacher.

Awesome! Brings tears to my eyes. My Border Collie needs a job like that!

Every time I see anything about this DVD I am even more impressed! It looked like loads of fun lol.

My dad usually starts training at sixteen months, but it really depends on whether or not the dog is mentally ready for training. When you take her out with sheep, does she break down and want to work or does she not even look their way? Some never even take interest in the stock. Others, working is all they want to do. The dog will let you know when and if she's ready to start working.

[tehrenberg]

oh, that 'what not to do' part reminds me of what my pup would do, cause she's quick, clever and determined.

Decided I want to start studying geography and animal care to start shepherding 👌🏽👌🏽 probably won’t get anywhere but wish me luck

I do not own a sheepdog, but generally in dog training it is easiest to rely on the group instincts of the dog: You use a way of talking and moving that starts from the dog's mood and then slowly transforms to what you want from the dog right then so that the dog can just copy from you who are his/her pal, pack member. Please try it out, the results are amazingly good!

I’ve got a year old border collie in a wheelchair (hit & run). He could totally do this! Looking to train him but we need some sheep!

[joshuachristopher]

After awhile do some dogs just know what to do without commands besides the initial command??

[ellikramer]
