Sheepdog trainer

[Gulli]

Looking for recommendations for a sheepdog trainer, got a young pup that I need to get trained.
Ideally I'd like to send her away to get the basics and we can work on the rest of it here I just don't have the time (or the knowledge tbh) to get her started
Based on Somerset/Dorset/ Wiltshire border but happy to travel a bit

David Grant at Blackdog near Crediton is very good.

I have a similar amount of knowledge (& patience), so sent my last one to Paul Tompkins, who's up by Knighton. He put the sides on and I've brought her on since, and she's turned into my 'go to' dog for most jobs.
Paul's straight as a die and will tell you if she's no good or not ready, whereas plenty will be happy to milk you for every penny.

Might be too far for you though?

Another vote for Paul.

I have one dog trained by Katy Cropper and one more recently done by Carol Worgan. Both very good. Obviously ones a lot cheaper than the other.

A second vote for Carol Worgan who is at Chumleigh North Devon-pm me for a contact number

Don't send them to me whatever you do

Don't send them to me whatever you do

Surely you could command a premium for such things, what with being current Sheep Farmer of the Year and all…

Yeh that's a bit far unfortunately, thanks though
