Herding training can be done with a number of different dog breeds, including; Border Collies, Rough Collies, Australian Cattle dogs, German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois and many other breeds as well. We recently put together a short video of some herding that was taken during one of our lessons to give you an idea of what it’s all about.

Herding dog training builds a special relationship between dog and handler and also has many other benefits. Herding will help to build good communication and teaches the dog and handler to work well as a team to accomplish particular goals. Herding helps to build cinfidence in dogs as well as challenging them mentally. Herding dog training also challenges dogs physically; good herding dogs are true canine athletes.

Highland Canine Training offers herding dog classes and private lessons for those who would like to do herding work with their dogs, even if just for fun. Herding is a great way to spend quality time with your dog and is something you both will enjoy. We offer free evaluations to anyone wishing to do herding work with their dog.
