Anyone who has been involved in herding with their dog, be it sheep, ducks, cattle, etc, knows how hard it is to master this difficult sport. It is the only sport where 3 species are actually competing together. In many cases, at least ideally!, two of those species (human and dog) are working together. The third species, be it whatever livestock is on tap for the day, is generally not at all interested in being helpful for the competition. Add to this a dearth of useful information and you see the difficulties herding aficionados face.These two workbooks by Laura De La Cruz will be helpful to any herding enthusiast.

Into this gap, Laura De La Cruz has provided two very useful workbook/journals. The first is a training log. The easy "fill in the blank" sections will help you to organize your thoughts about the training session. You can look back later and see what factors may have influenced the dog or the livestock. It also helps you to remember what the focus of your lesson that day was and what you need to work on to progress. The organized, easy to use format makes it more likely that you will fill in the blanks after a lesson. This handy booklet has space for 30 lessons.
The second booklet is a trail workbook and journal. This log addresses the competitions you and your dog have attended. You can quickly fill in the venue or site where you trialed and who the judge was. Factors like weather, the type of livestock and how they worked along with the pluses and minuses to the facility can all be recorded very easily. A section to draw in the trial course is especially handy if you run in a ranch or farm course. "Lessons Learned" is an important reminder that each time you step into a herding arena, whether you are conscious of it or not at the time, you and your dog are learning something. Hopefully good things!
While it would be ideal to have a separate book for each dog you work, you could fairly easily combine two dogs into one book. One suggestion would be to add a pocket to save score sheets from trials.
These books woudl make excellent gifts to students, fellow herders and anyone with an interest in herding with their dogs.
