Today I decided to apply good dog training principles to herding. I set up a drill, broke it into steps, and made it just a little harder each time. Nifty being a dog trainer. Picture a clock: my dog is happiest at 12 o’clock, sheep in the middle, me at 6. But herding isn’t always that tidy. Sometimes he has to be in the middle, or even move from 3 to 9 in front of me to keep the sheep at 12. He is much better going counterclockwise; clockwise is extra challenging. There’s always an easy way an

Consent in dog training means opting in. The dog is dictating the pace of training when you use some sort of consent signal. When Xen is overwhelmed or confused or stressed about how to win in the training game, his reaction is to hold an object. When he would prefer to play the game again, he drops the object. I did not teach him a consent signal, he offered one! I just paid attention and learned what it was. Dogs are individuals. They will respond to stress in different ways. If Xen does not h
