Notes: "This comprehensive and invaluable book describes innovative ways of training sheepdogs and addresses a number of subjects that have not been adequately covered in previous publications, such as working sensitive dogs and dogs lacking in confidence, the 'square movement' method, and the 'concept of opposites'. ...Brimming with practical advice that will help handlers to find solutions to difficult problems. ...In addition, the author considers ways of optimizing a dog's health, energy, fitness and peak performance." Nij Vyas is a successful sheepdog trainer, handler and judge with many local and international successes to his credit. Vyas is an expert dog and sheep psychologist who, beginning with general dog training, found particular inspiration in Karen Pryor's "Don't Shoot The Dog: The New Art of Teaching and Training Dogs" (our stock no. 13717).
