This book is about training your dog in a very natural way. It tells about different types of dogs and their different way of training. By understanding your dogs mind you can train efficient and very friendly. Recommended to beginners to develop a good training method.
 violence against dogs August 28, 2002

I have a real problem with the suggestion to training dogs using threats, violence, etc. It seems one could take the time to train a herding dog rather than use the boogie bag.
Very Informative February 2, 2000

This book covers the basics of herding. It presents the concepts clearly and provides some good trouble shooting sections. The diagrams could be improved and I could do without the cartoons. They were very hard to understand. The author obviously knows herding dogs and conveys very well what it takes to make a good "working" dog. I would recommend this book for anyone who is beginning to work a herding dog or who is considering purchasing a Border collie.
 What I thought of "Herding Dogs" April 4, 1999

Was a good book, if your into border collies and sheep trials. They make the book out to be a manual for all types of herding. All it really told about was sheep herding and told little about working cattle, and the author compared everything to border collies.
Most comprehensive, easiest to understand training book August 11, 1998

An excellent job of detailing often complicated and difficult scenarios encountered when training. I have purchased several copies to give novice handlers for a good introduction to the world of livestock and herding. I reference the book repeatedly for tips on problem solving. Thank you, Vergil!!
