Farmer's Dog

by John Holmes

Book Overview

'It can be said at once that this book should be on the shelf of every farmer and shepherd who owns a dog or who is contemplating the purchase of one. Mr Holmes really gets behind the mind of the dog and "what makes it tick". That is why his advice is so sound.' - Farmer and Stockbreeder

'John Holmes has picked out the essentials and backed them up with clear reasons with an enviable skill... No better book could be recommended to a farmer, old or young, who wishes to train working dogs for use with stock.' - Journal of Farmers' Club

'Though The Farmer's Dog is essentially intended for the bookshelves of the farmer, or working-dog owner, there is much to interest all lovers of dogs in its pages ... extremely well illustrated.' - Dog World

'He has an understanding of dogs which has hardly been surpassed in the written word and if you are at heart a dog-lover you will enjoy and profit from every chapter.' - Farming News

The Farmers Dog

Wonderful informative book. Anybody that has or will have a working dog needs to read this book.

Herd dog training classic

This book was recommended to me by a famous stock dog trainer. It explains the psychology of herd dogs and how to train them using their native instincts better than any other book. If you are serious about training herding dogs, this is a must read, timeless classic.
