Rod Cavanagh's Australian Sheep Dogs: Training & Handling is the vintage 1990 hardcover that stockmen reach for when they need practical, paddock-tested advice on working dogs. Illustrated throughout and wrapped in its original dust jacket, this Australian classic walks readers through selecting, starting and finishing a reliable sheep dog.
Inside the 1990 edition you'll find step-by-step lessons, body-language tips and troubleshooting fixes straight from the author's own yards. Whether you run a station mob or a small lifestyle block, Cavanagh's calm, commonsense style turns training sessions into teamwork rather than tantrums for both handler and dog.
The book is in acceptable shape for a working reference: binding tight, pages free of scribbles and dog-ears, only light foxing confined to the front papers. It comes from a smoke-free home and is ready to ride in the ute or sit on the shelf until the next lesson.
