The Modern Kelpie Handbook
Behaviour, training and everyday life, from choosing a puppy to the senior years
Most breed books tell you a Kelpie is loyal, clever and tireless. Then you bring one home and meet the real thing.
I've been training dogs for over 30 years, and I wrote this the way I'd talk to you if we were stood in a field together.
What's inside
Where the Kelpie came from, and what "herding dog" means in your living room
Is a Kelpie right for you? The honest version
Health, handling and cerebellar abiotrophy, and what the research actually says
Exercise, home life and your puppy's first week
Socialisation, adolescence and training foundations
Bikes, sheep and the dog who can't switch off: Kelpie training challenges
Enrichment, family life, children and other animals
Common behaviour problems, and how to stop small ones growing
Kelpie myths, and living well with your dog into the senior years
There's a Kelpie checklist at the back to keep coming back to.
Who it's for
Anyone thinking about a Kelpie, bringing a puppy home, living with a teenager who's just discovered bikes, or sharing life with an older dog.
