Training a Stockdog: "Anyone Can Do
It" by Pope Robertson
Rovar Press A very practical training manual for training a dog to work using a
method anyone can use, even the first time dog trainer.
Often stock training issues relate to relationship issues with the
handler rather than lack of talent. A working dog needs to be a true
partner and many sadly aren't. Raising a well behaved, obedient, compliant
dog should be the goal of anyone that plans to have their dog eventually
work stock.
The following books are not herding training
books but rather basic training and relationship books to help people
achieve the partnership with their dog they will later need in their stock
work.
