1. The Perfect Stock Dog Training DVD
The Perfect Stock Dog Training DVD using a Border Collie on cattle, approximately 2 hours, $35.00 USD (includes postage. Foreign buyers please add $10.00 USD)
In The Perfect Stockdog Training DVD, Ben takes you step by step, day 1 through 30 of his training program. He teaches a solid stop, flanks, there, walk-up and inside flanks moving systematically from a small rectangular pen to the pasture. He starts a dog quietly and effectively with a slip collar and rope. In this tape he uses cattle start to finish.
When you grasp the beauty of Ben’s training philosophy and technique, and are able to apply it to your own dog, you will have a dog that breaks out nicely, stops on command, knows what “easy” means as well as “get out.”
Some folks believe he starts out teaching a drive. He does not. He starts out teaching the dog, “Down, stop, whoa, come by, away to me, there, get out, easy, walk up and that’ll do.” Your finished product will be able to use these commands to fetch or drive. This is a pretty intensive training program. Your dog must be old enough, have work and “want to.” It doesn’t matter what type of stock you use to train with – sheep, goats, cattle…even ducks.
How your dog works in a small pen or on 100 acres is the same. Ben believes in starting them right with a concrete foundation on which to build with working experience.
We receive many comments from individuals about how they have been able to start their dogs by following this video step by step. Put a solid foundation on your dog that will enable you to make the most of your “Perfect Stock dog.”
