I first met sheepdog trainer and handler, Mr. Tony Rofe, when we traveled together on a trip to the European Nursery Championship in Holland. The ENC is a sheepdog trial where Border Collies from all over Europe, the UK and Ireland can go to compete. In this interview, Tony tells us of the benefits to round pen sheepdog training.
The one thing that most impressed me most with Tony Rofe, is just how much he can squeeze into a training session with a young dog. Tony thinks about what he is doing before he ever puts a lead on a pup, and from the moment it goes on, that pup is in training.
