Now for something more challenging!
Bronwen’s been making great progress. Now it’s time to give her some more difficult tasks to work on. She’s already quite good at penning the sheep but getting sheep out of a tight place, or putting them through the sheep handling race, are both a very different matter.
In this tutorial, you’ll see many aspects of training sheepdogs. Teaching the dog to stay back out of the way when required, is very important. The “look back” and ways to reduce the dog’s fear when working close to the sheep are also covered.
