Although Monty has never actually chased sheep, he’s demonstrated on several occasions since we’ve had him that he would like to get up close and personal with the woollybacks. Enter Janet, a dog trainer, who provides access to a flock of sheep as part of sheep aversion training. Janet, a no-nonsense individual with a warm personality who clearly understands canine psychology and the value of “tough love” was simply superb. After a couple of loud and dramatic interventions by her followed by one from me, Monty wanted to be anywhere but in that sheep field. Let the consolidation training begin!
