Great for novice handlers - Rated
This book includes chapters on different herding breeds, canine health etc. but the meat of it is Tom Longton's advice on training a young dog. He explains how to use a small pen to keep both dog and sheep under control, and how to expand the dog's experience. One chapter outlines problems and gives brief advice on how to correct them. This is an excellent book for anyone who wants to train their next dog to be their best yet. If you are have more experience with collies you would probably find 'A way of life' by Glyn Jones more to your taste.
