Lizmo Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I have your book, too, and my first border collie. It helped explain so much. I just wanted to add my thanks for making a great book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsnrs Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Me too. It is my favorite of the ones we got recently also. When is the new one coming out? We have Aussies and appreciate the comments on different breeds; also on problems and how to fix them. N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue R Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 When is the new one coming out? A new one? I just rebought the old one, as I'd given my worn and high-lighted copy to an Aussie friend who found it very useful. I realize that you are probably iced in and have no idea when you will be able to get on the internet again! Best wishes recovering from the storms!

bsms99 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Thank you all for your complements! I am glad to know that my book is so useful to so many. Vergil In addition to being well rated on Amazon, I noticed the used price is the same as the new price. In my experience, that means people who buy it want to keep the book and re-read it...sign of a good book! I'll never herd with my dogs, but I'm going to buy a copy anyways. Sounds like I won't be disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyer Posted February 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 What's really interesting to me is how much the training of the herding dog is similar to training a horse. At least the way I am familiar with horse training. Think Dorrance, Whitney. Like the poster above me, I don't know that my dog will ever see sheep other than over the fence at the barn, but the book to me makes it clear that training one's dog is all about "feel". That is a comfort and an affirmation of the work I am doing with my pup. (Who is perfect, BTW!) Flyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
