Bespoke Herding Breed Dog Training course
A private bespoke training course designed specially for your herding breed/sheepdog.
Harness their instincts, unlock their potential
Struggling with Your High-Energy Herding Breed?
Your Border Collie, Australian Shepherd, or Cattle Dog is always on the go, never switching off. They:
❌ Herd everything in sight—kids, other dogs, even shadows.
❌ Lunge and pull on walks, obsessed with movement.
❌ Ignore you around distractions, making recall a nightmare.
❌ Bark excessively, chase, and struggle to settle at home.
You’ve tried more exercise, puzzle toys, and obedience training, but nothing works. Instead of tiring out, your dog just gets more wired, more reactive, and harder to manage.
You thought you’d have a smart, trainable companion—but instead, you’re exhausted trying to keep up.
🐕 The more you exercise them, the more energy they seem to have.
🐕 Their focus is on everything but you.
🐕 You feel stuck, frustrated, and out of ideas.
Maybe you’ve even wondered: “Is this just how life with a herding breed has to be?” The answer is NO. Your dog isn’t being stubborn—they’re wired differently, and they need training that works with their natural instincts, not against them.
This course is designed specifically for herding breeds, giving you the tools to turn their energy into focus, calmness, and responsiveness.
🔹 Learn what truly affects your herding breed dog’s behaviour so you can manage it effectively.
🔹 Teach frustration tolerance & calmness—no more constant motion.
🔹 Train your dog to disengage from distractions and focus on YOU.
🔹 Master arousal control so your dog can switch from high-energy to calm on command.
🔹 Turn walks into stress-free bonding time instead of a battle with distractions.
This isn’t obedience training—it’s a behaviour transformation designed to help you and your dog finally work together.
Imagine a dog who:
✅ Settles calmly at home instead of pacing or barking
✅ Walks politely without lunging at movement
✅ Listens to you even around distractions
✅ Has an “off switch” instead of endless energy
✅ Feels confident and in control—so you do too!
With a self-paced online course and expert training support (Zoom and/or in-person sessions), you’ll get real, lasting results.

🌟 What clients have said
"Emma was recommended by a friend when we adopted our border collie pup and we are so grateful. From the first home consultation to the group classes (which I even attended without my puppy due to health issues!) Emma has been great. She is so knowledgeable and practical and engaged the whole family in helping us to understand our pup and set him and us up to succeed from the start. The concept training is positive and proactive and Emma has been great about finding solutions to problems too (we have many!). The online videos and training alongside this has been really useful for us to look back on too. Emma has gone way over and above the help and support we expected from her - she genuinely cares about helping you. Having lived with dogs and come across many trainers and methods most of my life, I can honestly say that I have learnt far more from Emma and wish I had known about her earlier! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone with a new puppy, especially a herding breed!"

Meet your herding breed specialist - Emma Badger DTC-CDT
Hi, I’m Emma—a qualified, dedicated dog trainer with a passion for herding breeds.
As a border collie owner myself, I understand the unique challenges (and joys!) that come with these intelligent, high-drive dogs. Their energy, focus, and instincts need the right kind of training—one that works with their nature, not against it.
Using positive, reward-based methods, I help herding breed owners channel their dog’s instincts into calm, responsive behaviour—both at home and in the real world. Whether you’re struggling with chasing, reactivity, or focus, I’ll create a bespoke training plan that suits your dog’s needs and your lifestyle.
Let's turn frustration into teamwork!
