With hundreds of sheep grazing on miles of steep rock Derek relies heavily on a team of capable and talented dogs to gather the sheep throughout the year. He shows his techniques for training a dog to flank, lie down, outrun, drive shed, go back and much more. Then he shows how these skills are used in everyday work situations. He gives training seminars and clinics and continues to judge. This video is regarded by many as the best training video on this subject.
