Reviews
This book is a great window into the Border Collie in particular - what motivates them, common issues with them related to herding. It's also a great start for anyone who wants to use positive reinforcement techniques for herding. Kelly K, Amazon review of Positive Herding 101 This is a very comprehensive book. It walks you through learning theory, how to establish behaviours and herding behaviours. There are YouTube links also which really help visualise activities... this book is really helping me to develop herding techniques... the first book I have found that uses modern training methods and I believe it will help many owners and dogs. Paula, Amazon UK review of Positive Herding 101

Author Information
Barbara had trained herding for over 30 years. She started with traditional training and later decided to learn positive reinforcement training and apply it to herding. After a decade of trial and error, she has developed a proven method for training herding. She starts dogs away from livestock, usually in her home and backyard. She then takes her dogs near penned stock and eventually to loose livestock. It is much easier for dogs to learn herding skills without the huge distraction of livestock in the picture and later add stock to the training. Sally started herding with no prior herding experience but was an excellent positive dog trainer. She taught agility, tricks, and basic obedience to her dogs and in her classes. Sally worked with Barb over the internet and trained her Border Collie puppy, Renn, into the South African Sheepdog Association's National Reserve Junior Champion in 2016.
