Training Classes / Intensive training with 2 week boarding
Training session are available ranging from the
basics to an advanced level depending on the requirements from the handler and the capabilities of the dog! All aspects from
field to yard can be covered if required. Individual and group sessions taken!
Dogs that come to me must be of a sufficient standard and at least 12 months of age.
During their stay they will reach what I call a fully started stage. This includes the following.
Respect for the handler and livestock.
Walking
sensibly on a lead.
Left and right directional commands.
Keep out ( for when required )
Walk up.
Push up ( to include a bark when working in the yard )
Steady.
Stop.
Go back ( for pen work )
Backing sheep with
commands to get right up to where required and return to starting point.
A
finish command to cease working.
At the end of training dogs
are shown to the owner as being able to work at distance, purely so voice commands can be implemented without the dog relying
on movement and body language from the trainer.
