FIRST AND BEST FOR SHEEPDOG TRAINING VIDEOS AND ADVICE!
If you need help with training a sheepdog to work sheep, cattle or other livestock, we’re here for you!
We’ve been producing Sheepdog Training Videos since 2008, and streaming them online, from 2012.
We now have 75 professionally produced videos which explain clearly, how to get the best from your dog, and what to do when things go wrong. You can have full access to the videos for just £12 per month, or £120 per year (17% discount)!
Visit our testimonials page to see how helpful our members find our tutorial videos for training a sheepdog to work.
The videos are organised into categories (Basics – Getting Started – Progressing – Advanced – and Other). We recommend you watch the Basics first, to get most help with training a sheepdog to work.
Optional subtitles are available in English, Spanish and French, on all our online tutorial videos.
Apart from videos and articles, what other help do you offer your members?
In addition to the videos and articles, members are also encouraged to ask questions or leave feedback at the foot of every video page. We aim to reply within a couple of days.
Additionally, we’re happy to watch short videos of dogs training or working. Whether to help with a specific problem or just for feedback or an assessment. We may be a long distance from you, but we’re always available to help.
Find out how to send a video of your dog’s work for our appraisal and advice or how we can help you train your dog to work sheep and other livestock.
Why do you show training mistakes in your videos?
Because they happen to us all! No matter how good a handler you may be, there’s always the potential for something to go wrong.
In 2003 we wrote our sheepdog training article and regretted that the sheepdog training videos of the day rarely showed things going wrong, so they couldn’t show how to put them right.
We’re proud that we had the courage to show things going wrong when we released our “First Steps in Border Collie Sheepdog Training” DVD (now replaced by online training videos).
Members tell us they feel reassured to see things go wrong for other people. So we make a point of including the faults, and show how to put them right.
Sometimes those faults are ours, and we show those too. Just because we make videos doesn’t mean we’ve stopped learning!

Should I send my dog away to be trained?
Training the dog yourself will ensure it has far greater respect for you, than if somebody else trains it. Sending the dog away to be trained might seem like a good idea, but we don’t recommend it. How can you be sure an unknown trainer will treat your dog properly..?
It’s usual for the dog to stay for several weeks with a trainer. This means it will see the trainer as its new master and bond with them. This can also result in problems when the dog needs to re-bond with you, on its return home.
Understand your dog
If you don’t know how to train your dog, you won’t understand its working instinct. That’s like someone buying a car when they don’t know how to drive!
You can get help with training a sheepdog to work. Our online training videos are designed to teach you what’s going to happen, why it happens, and how to cope with problems when you train your dog, including sheep behaviour.
This will also ensure you have a decent basic knowledge of dog and sheep “sense”. It will stand you in far better stead when it comes to practical work with dog and sheep.
My internet signal’s poor, will your videos play?
Our videos are formatted to play even if you have a weak signal.
Just to make sure though, watch our Preview Video to test it out. It’s in exactly the same format as the tutorials. If the preview plays, you’ll also be able to watch all of the videos.
If you don’t have an internet signal, most of our tutorial videos are available on DVD but stocks are low.
