Maddox is working on inside flanks here! This can be a very hard behavior for dogs to understand. Breaking it down into small pieces makes it much easier for them to grasp! https://psrstockdogtraining.thinkific.com/courses/Inside-Flanks

This is what having a solid foundation looks like. Mick is trustworthy to be able to work with JB, a five year old. Mick has square flanks, nice flow around his stock, holds nice distance and has a great sense of group. He clearly understands his job. At PSR we emphasize taking the time and putting in the layers to create a solid foundation. When we do we develop a dog that is confident in themselves. They understand the job to be done and the criteria we have for doing it. For more information on our online classes to help your dog have a solid foundation go to www.psrstockdogtraining.Thinkific.com We have many classes to help with all of your foundation.

Waiting and listening aren’t just hard for young dogs — they’re some of the most critical skills we can teach.

In this exercise, they’re challenged to hold steady and resist the urge to follow when another dog is called. They’re learning to wait for their name, to stay mentally engaged, and to listen with purpose.

This kind of control is what carries over to stock work — where listening and timing make all the difference.

When holding at the start is super hard, we add props! Anything you can use to make things make sense for your dog!! We are working on some “mini” online courses that will cover this and similar things. Teaching our dogs behaviors “off” of stock will make it much easier for them to do it “on” stock. Remember, going slow at the beginning and putting in the layers of foundation will pay off tenfold in the end!! Go check out our online classes! Www.psratockdogtraining.com

At PSR Stockdogs, we train with the future in mind. Our approach protects your dog’s spirit and builds a lifelong partner who loves the work. Instead of burning out young dogs with too much pressure, we let their instincts shine—step by step, in a way that keeps them eager and excited to work for years to come. The result? A dog who’s still thrilled to hit the field at 13, because training was done right from the start. With PSR Stockdogs, you’re not just teaching skills—you’re building a lifetime of desire and partnership.
Below is a video of Addie who turned 13 in April. She still loves working as much as she did when she was two!
