MacRae
Sheepdogs
takes dogs in for custom training
during the fall and winter . We both train customer dogs usually
beginning in October through until February. Border Collies of all levels and all bloodlines
are accepted and are trained by the month, depending on
the
desired result and the dogs abilities.
In evaluating value for money, custom training can provide an excellent alternative to purchasing a trained dog.
In addition to training, we also compete with client dogs at trials. Alasdair has done this for a number of years, most notably winning major open trials and the US National three times with Judy Aycock’s Bill. Alasdair was again threepeat with Eileen Stineman’s Star and captured his 11th US National and Star's 3rd title in 2011.We would never
use, nor do we condone the use of the electric training collar. As
important as the humane aspect, we do not believe that "the collar" has
any value as a training tool for the border collie and moreover, we
believe it causes permanent mental damage and precludes the dog from
ever achieving his or her potential.
