Herding Dog Training

Herding Dog Training, run by Charlie Brincat in Kilsyth, Victoria, offers hands-on, specialist training that brings out the natural herding instincts in dogs. The school focuses on sheep herding and tailored obedience for dogs bred or suited to working livestock, helping owners develop practical skills and confident handling. Classes are designed to suit different levels, with beginner sheep herding sessions introduced on Sundays to teach basics for dogs and handlers, and practical herding practice that places dogs with sheep in a controlled environment so they can apply what they learn. Private one-on-one sessions are available for owners who want personalised training focused on specific skills or problems. Charlie’s approach grew from his own dog’s natural instincts and emphasizes a positive, supportive environment where dogs can thrive rather than struggle in general classes. The program is particularly aimed at city dwellers who want to develop their dog’s herding ability, offering regular classes that combine obedience work with real-world herding practice. Overall, Herding Dog Training offers specialised, practical, and personalised training for dogs and handlers interested in sheep herding and related obedience skills.
