Looking for a dog-friendly way to train herding?

Positive Herding 201 is based on Barbara's 30+ years of herding experience, both on farm and at trials. She has coupled that experience with an extensive knowledge of positive dog training to provide a revolutionary framework for teaching herding using science-based methods.

• Video links, diagrams, and tons of pictures
• Step-by-step training plans
• Troubleshooting tips
• Stockmanship basics
• Advanced herding skills
• Get-started-trialing guide

About the Author
Barb Buchmayer has been captivated by the art of herding for 30 years and has trained over a dozen dogs to herd through the years. Years ago, she began learning the science of positive dog training through books and courses by Bob Bailey, Susan Garrett, and Kay Laurence.

Barb and her husband have operated an organic dairy, milk bottling plant, and beef farm on 625 acres in Missouri for over 25 years. At one time she had a flock of more than 240 hair sheep with three livestock guardian dogs.

Her lifework is to develop and share positive herding with new handlers and traditional handlers looking for a science-based approach to training.
