Video, DVD & Books

• If you are interested in herding, there are a wide variety of videotapes available and we highly recommend Herding I, II and III by Jeanne Joy Hartnagle-Taylor (go to the Las Rocosa site at http://www.lasrocosa.com/education.html to order).
   

• Another wonderful video, especially for beginning trainers or people having a few problems training their dogs is "An Introduction To All Breed Herding" by Lynn Leach of Downriver Farm, and now Lynn has a second video available as well!  You can order the videos directly from Lynn's website at http://downriver.org
   

• Steve & Anne Shope (Legends Aussies) have a great DVD that comes with an instructional manual.  More info on their website at http://www.legendsaussies.com/ 
   

• Our favorite herding book is Herding Dogs Progressive Training by Vergil S. Holland (ISBN #0-87605-644-3)...it's a great book!
