Derek Scrimgeour is a world-class sheepdog trainer; he has run dogs in the English National, the International, and the World trial, puts on training clinics all over Europe and the United States, and runs a training center in England. His book reflects his experience in its breadth and quality; with a little luck, some sheep, and a good dog, you could take a dog from pup to trial-worthy with only this book. Yet it is also easy to understand. All the terms are simply explained, the training is laid out in simple steps, and tips are made on trouble shooting problems. Beyond that, Scrimgeour's methods are among the gentlest in the Border Collie world, rarely using any punishment other than a 'hard voice'. A must buy for any working Border Collie aficionado, whether complete beginner or established expert.
