OTHER RECOMMENDED TRAINERS
Cattledog Dreams recommends owners use positive-reinforcement based training
methods for Australian Cattle Dogs and all other herding breeds.  Punishment-based
techniques can be very detrimental to these correction sensitive dogs.

The trainers listed below are known to be positive-reinforcement trainers with Cattle Dog
experience.  Several excellent organizations are listed at the bottom of the page that also
offer referrals to positive reinforcement dog trainers in your area.  It is best to pick one with
herding dog experience.

When you interview your prospective trainer, be sure to ask them about their techniques
(even if they are on one of these lists).  Positive-reinforcement trainers will never suggest
you use shock collars, choke chains or prong collars to control your dog, and neither does
Cattledog Dreams.
