RECOMMENDED TRAINERS
Cattledog Dreams recommends owners use positive reinforcement based dog
training for Australian Cattle Dogs and all other herding breeds. Negative
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 can also give you referrals to a positive reinforcement dog trainer 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.
