Abstract

An untrained sheep dog pup doesn't cost very much, even in these days of inflated prices, but when he is properly trained he will perform in a few minutes, work that ten men could not accomplish in as many hours. That is a point worth remembering when training a dog—you are developing an asset, that will save you a hundred times his cost in time and temper—so it is well worth your while to train him properly.
