You’re staring at the edge of the herding world and wondering “Where do I even begin?" Or...you’ve dipped your toe in the water, and found out just how HARD this herding thing can be!
This isn't your regular herding course. Heck, the sheep don't even appear till the last chapter!
I know, you're excited. You want to put your dog on sheep right now!
BUT MAYBE YOU DON'T OWN YOUR OWN SHEEP. OR MAYBE YOU'VE ALREADY TRIED, AND THINGS WENT A BIT...WESTERN. THAT'S EXACTLY WHY I BUILT HERDING STARTS HERE.
How the heck do you train herding skills without stock?
You might have heard of pressure and release? Every good stock dog handler uses it. But if you come from the sport dog or pet dog world, it probably feels like a foreign language.
So I built a course that bridges the gap. One that teaches the feel, timing, and control of pressure and release without needing sheep — so you can practice anywhere, with any dog.
(Yes, any dog. These exercises work across the board. Herding dogs just tend to figure it out a bit quicker 😉)
This course is for you if:
- You're new to herding and want to start off right.
- You have a dog that's a bit...extra
- Your partner is a sensitive soul that’s easily turned off
- You want your dog to listen before - and more importantly while there are sheep in front of them.
- You're feeling stuck, confused, or overwhelmed
- You want to learn handler skills you'll use for years.
You've seen methods that are physically harsh, and they are outside of your comfort zone.
Will your next herding session be the same as the last?
A dog that slices, chases and won't stop? A handler shouting, running, or worse? yes? then it sounds like you need a step by step map.
A map that's like a Navman --- that takes you down the one-way streets, avoids the traffic jams, the slow zones and amazingly gets you to your destination still in one piece.
Let's get real here, the PROBLEM --- is a lack of Foundation.
Unlike other programs, Herding Starts Here works because it starts at the very beginning.
Imagine...
→ using pressure and release to shape behaviour, so you can stop your dog at a distance.
Imagine...
→ improving recall, leash work and over all control so you and your dog can work as a team everywhere.
Imagine...
→ preparing both of you to work stock calmly and confidently so you can relax and enjoy working your dog on stock.
