PSR Stockdogs

PSR Stockdogs Award-winning herding dog training for Australian Shepherds, Border Collies, and other breeds. Clear, calm methods that create thoughtful, reliable stockdogs.

At PSR Stockdogs, we believe great working dogs aren’t rushed—they’re developed through calm, thoughtful training that builds confidence, trust, and understanding. For decades, our family has raised and trained Australian Shepherds, Border Collies, and other herding breeds—building dogs that think, not react. We’ve earned numerous titles and awards, including ASCA Hall of Fame Excellent Kennel #25

, by focusing on clear communication, good timing, and respect for both dog and stock. Our online herding dog courses are designed for all breeds but pay special attention to the unique challenges of loose-eyed dogs like Aussies and Kelpies—breeds that learn best through calm leadership, not force. Each lesson is filmed with real livestock, showing step-by-step progressions from off-stock foundations to timing, flanks, take pens, and driving stock. We understand every dog works differently. Whether you’re starting a young Border Collie or refining an experienced Aussie, we’ll help you build a true working partnership—based on trust, clarity, and calm, correct work.

Training in a way that leaves instincts intact will always create a partner in the end! If we take our dogs instincts and desire away we will have a dog who burns out young and doesn’t enjoy their job! Laying a foundation that is layered piece, by piece and our dogs become confident in each part of process always creates a dog who loves their job!

“Having criteria not Expectations”
This is so important when we have dogs in any sport! Dogs are all individuals and they progress at different rates and excel at different things! Your puppy might just be working on basic fetching skills while his littermate is already trialing. It’s so important not to compare! Enjoy the journey with each dog at their own pace. If we train in a way that pushes dogs to grow and challenges them to get to the next level without hanging them out to dry. We will create a confident, capable dog! The important thing is in the end we have a dog who knows their job and is confident to do it. Go check out our website so you can be consistent in your criteria with your dogs on stock!

It’s so important that we are paying attention to what our dogs are telling us! They are always talking, we are not always listening. If we aren’t clear on what they are saying to us we will not respond in a way that is clear and keeps them confident. This is where we get unsure, frustrated dogs. In the dogs mind they have clearly told us what they need. When we aren’t listening or don’t know how to listen to them we can’t be a good partner!

Working young/green dogs is all about “support and shaping”! We shape the behavior we do want instead of correct the behavior we don’t want. This leaves us with a confident dog who trusts us! We don’t want to come down on a dog to hard for a “mistake” then the dog won’t try. We always want to leave the “try” in our dogs! Our “Groundwork 1 and 2” courses plus our “starting your dog on stock” course all give you step by step directions on how to build a solid foundation on stock. Www.psrstockdogtraining.com
