Working Dog Education​

​

Principal Trainer : Neil MacLeod

I have been training dogs for over 40 years including sheep and cattle herding for over 15 years.

I owned a sheep and cattle farm in South Gippsland in Victoria which was very close to the renowned Kelpie Breeder and working dog trainer Paul McPhail who founded the Beloka Kelpie Stud.  He was my mentor for many years and is still a close friend.

​I was also fortunate to do training with Neil and Helen McDonald (recently known from the ABC show Muster Dogs), the late great Greg Prince,  and advice and mentoring from many great working dog people including Joe Spicer (Gogetta Kelpies), Darren McAinch (Fudge) and many others.

My training and dog handling philosophies have been molded from all these great people as well as my own experience working on my farm with my dogs.
