gcv-border Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Apologies if this is posted in the wrong category, FYI http://www.hobbyfarms.com/hobby-farms-videos/how-to-train-young-stock-dogs.aspx?cm_mmc=Vanity-_-trainingdogsvideo-_-na-_-van Hopefully the above link will work. If not, go to www.hobbyfarms.com/trainingdogvideo I do not herd with my dog (although I would love to) so the herding education I have has come from this board. I am interested in what you think about this video. My impression is that it might be of interest to someone who is curious about training a farm dog, but that it is too superficial for a person serious about learning how to train a herding dog. Basically, I view it as a bit of fluff - essentially magazine filler - but fairly innocuous? Opinions? Jovi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 I didn't know Debbie Bailey had done a video for Hobby Farms. IMO the video is much too short to be more than the briefest of overviews, which is what it is. But I think it has some value in that she stresses teaching the dog from puppyhood on to follow commands, look to the handler for direction, etc., so hopefully a person thinking about farm dogs will think about early training. Some of the photos included in the video made no sense in the context of the video (e.g, the aussie apparently taking a treat, or seeking a treat, from the handler's hand). So, yeah, I agree that it's innocuous filler, but at least the small bit of information provided is sound. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Kling Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Agreed, I thought it was well done for what it was. Gives a brief overview but doesn't trivialize it as some of the videos I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barefoot Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Seems fine for what it is; a very general overview of bringing up a working stockdog. Although the overlays of what were clearly not dogs who will ever work stock were a bit annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
