5.0 out of 5 stars A Little Gem, May 9, 2001

This review is from: Anybody Can Do It: A Sheepdog Training Manual (Hardcover)

This book is small, only 78 pages, but there is not a word wasted. All the information needed to train a stock dog is in it.

Mr. Robertson takes the new handler from no training experience to ready to start stock dog trials. While the book's photographs are of Border Collies it is quite usable for other working breeds. Little mention is made of the breed being trained, only how to train. Mr. Robertson stresses a quiet, controlled teamwork approach to training and working. It is small enough to take to the field to review during training sessions (a distinct advantage in my case).

If you can only afford one book to train your stock dog, this one is it. If you can afford more, this book should be included in your library. It is truly a gem.
