Sheepdog Training Tutorials Volume 1 [DVD]

Description

Andy Nickless and Gill Watson divide their time between training sheepdogs, training handlers, and managing the Working Sheepdog Website, an invaluable resource for any aspiring sheepdog trainer and handler. In 2012, after over ten years of training, teaching, and helping handlers across the world to overcome their training problems and challenges, the Working Sheepdog Website became host to the online Sheepdog Training Tutorial series. This great new 2xDVD set contains the first 17 sheepdog training tutorials that originally appeared as part of the online tutorial programme on the Working Sheepdog Website. It covers the topics that most handlers have questions about - from your pup's very first introduction to sheep, through outruns, close work and giving the sheep space, right up to more advanced work including driving and basic shedding. Using video, superb graphics and slow motion where necessary, each chapter describes more clearly and in more detail just what is happening, how to correct faults, and how to improve the trainee sheepdog's performance. Sheepdog trainer Andy Nickless not only describes the current topic, but points out other important events and factors along the way. The seventeen tutorials have all been lightly re-edited to ensure they run smoothly either as individual chapters or as a continuous programme. There are close-ups, slow motion and freeze frames to enable Andy to explain exactly what's happening and how to correct the dog's faults. NB The Whistle tutorial previously appeared on the First Steps in Border Collie Sheepdog Training DVD.
