Herding Training:

Training a Stockdog: "Anyone Can Do It" 
by Pope Robertson 
Rovar Press 
A very practical training manual for training a dog to work using a method anyone can use, even the first time dog trainer.

     Often stock training issues relate to relationship issues with the handler rather than lack of talent. A working dog needs to be a true partner and many sadly aren't. Raising a well behaved, obedient, compliant dog should be the goal of anyone that plans to have their dog eventually work stock.
     The following books are not herding training books but rather basic training and relationship books to help people achieve the partnership with their dog they will later need in their stock work.
