David Hart Stock and Dog Handling
Helps you to create the bonds and respect with your dogs and livestock to achieve trusting relationships that minimise stress for handlers, workers, dogs and stock.
Suits anyone who needs to move livestock:
Commercial farms
Smallholder flocks or herds
Dog triallers
Provides the foundation of good stock and dog handling and bypasses the mechanical “round yard and rake” training.
Immerse yourself in a 3-day hands-on school to learn to:
Motivate and let stock choose to move where you want
Position yourself to help rather than hinder stock movements
Let your dog use its instinct rather than be reliant on mechanical commanding systems
Raise and start working dogs with respect for you and livestock
Use the principles and apply the practices with your own dog/s
