Embrace your starting point on the homestead when it comes to herding. This comprehensive guide emphasizes the significance of understanding the purpose and characteristics of herding breeds, shedding light on why breed selection matters in choosing a herding dog. Beyond basic commands like 'sit' and 'stay,' instilling manners and discipline is paramount when training and collaborating with a herding companion, a topic delved into in depth. Author Jordyn Kelly draws from personal experience with her own dogs, addressing challenges like inconsistency in training and responses when working with livestock. The book also provides insights into introducing livestock calmly and beginner-friendly exercises to kick-start your herding journey.
