Wonderful insights into working with dogs, especially border collies, and sensible positive training tips, generally a charming journal of the first year in the country with sixteen sheep, three dogs, two donkeys, and a suburban dog writer. A great dog book in which no dog dies!

What a beautiful story! You fall in love with the dogs, the goats and even the author himself. In his efforts to train his herding dogs, Jon Katz learns more about himself than he ever imagined. Everyone should read this book.

This is a great book. Katz writes in a very accessible way that appeals to animal lovers in particular, but anyone would enjoy reading about starting a new life on a cold new england farm.

I absolutely loved this book. Jon's knowledge and love of dogs comes through on every page...I even garnered some training tips from this book. This is one of those books I like to share with fellow dog lovers.
