This fascinating book presents contributions from four world-renowned handlers, including the twice world champion, Aled Owen, which examine the factors that have influenced them and made them successful.

This comprehensive book describes innovative ways of training sheepdogs and addresses a number of subjects that have not been adequately covered in previous publications; such as working with sensitive dogs and dogs lacking in confidence, the 'square movement', and the 'concept of opposites'. Written by an acknowledged expert, Sheep Dog Training and Trials discusses in a variety of settings new concepts such as the author's theory of 'passive resistance' and the 'pressure on-off technique'. In addition, the author considers ways of optimizing a dog's health, energy, fitness and peak performance.

Nij Vyas has been a sheepdog trainer and triallist for over eighteen years, and his approach has been characterized by maintaining empathy with the dog and by approaching training from the dog's perspective. Nij is a well-respected handler and judge who has enjoyed many wins at championship level. He qualified two dogs for each of the English National Sheepdog Trials from 2004 to 2009 and has also represented the England Team at international level.
