Starting Your
Border Collie on Cattle, Sheep, or Ducks (Rural Route Videos)
$29.95
This training video has been accepted with great response.
The first all-around border collie training video, showing young dogs
starting on steers, sheep, and ducks. Nobody is left out; covers all
the basic commands as this 90-minute video shows five young dogs as they
progress through their early months and continue through a sound training
program.
No. 1 Come Bye! And Away
(Glyn Jones)
$34.95
Glyn Jones is the author of A Way of Life. To complement his book, Glyn
has produced a video which focuses on the most crucial aspect of sheepdog training, the moment when the young sheepdog is first let loose with the sheep. Using an untrained dog in
actual training sessions, Glyn Jones shows how he then teaches the four key commands and gains the willing co-operation of a
young dog. This is the core requirement in training of a sheepdog to any level and the element which newcomers to training find
hard to master.
No. 2 That'll Do (Glyn Jones)
$34.95
At the end of Glyn Jones' video introducing sheepdog training, Come Bye! and
Away!, Lad had learned the four basic commands and could perform straightforward tasks such as the drive. In this sequel, Glyn Jones demonstrates how he teaches
Lad more specific commands, then reduces command contact. Jimmy, seen as a pup in the first video, is now put through his paces, learning to control sheep in a detailed way over a wide
area.
No. 3 Take Time (Glyn Jones)
$34.95
To prove that a working sheepdog can become a competent trials competitor, Glyn Jones takes two different dogs and their
handlers through their paces on his farm. The skills of the handlers are assessed by Glyn, who encourages more positive
commands when needed. He helps them correct a number of common faults made by the dog at the lift and when turning the
sheep towards a gate or pen. This video will enable handlers to bring out the competition potential of every good farm dog.
U.S. Border Collie Handler's
Finals--1999
(Rural Route Videos)
$29.95
The USBCHA Handler's Finals is the most prestigious border collie
trial in North America. For 12 months, handlers compete in
sanctioned competitions through the US and Canada, accumulating points to
qualify for an opportunity to compete in the qualifying rounds of the
finals. 150 dogs compete during the three days of qualifying trials
for a position in the semi-finals on the Saturday. Out of the 50
semi-finalists, the top 20 dogs then qualify for a place in the finals on
the Sunday. The finals course is similar to the British
International Course, a double lift and an 800-yard outrun. This
video looks briefly at the qualifying results and then highlights some of
the semi-finalists, explaining how these teams scored. The major
part of the program is made up with the top runs in the final event, the
higher the score in the finals, the more time designated to the run.
