I would like to train my corgi's to help with the cattle. Anyone have any advice & reference material I can use.

my 2 cents. i have 4 doors now. training is issue but the dog has to have an interest in cows. 3 of my dogs are bought from shelters at approx 1yr old. 2 show interest day 1. the 3rd is timid and its a catahoula. odd but if they are brave on cows its hard to teach that part. good luck.

Thanks those articles work well. I took Bree out & did a little test with her. She seems to have the instincts now that I have an Idea of how to teach her the rest I think she will do great.
