Herding instruction grounded in working experience

Drawing on Bob Vest’s work as a stockman, herding judge, and instructor, this collection brings together guidance on herding dogs alongside the ideas and philosophy behind the practice. Its scope connects practical work with dogs on farms and ranches to herding competitions, and the description presents it as relevant across different numbers of animals and breeds. The book offers a reference point for understanding Vest’s approach to training and working with a dog, shaped by years of teaching through clinics and private lessons.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People seeking instruction on herding dogs for farm or ranch work
  • Those interested in herding competitions or training across dog breeds
  • Readers looking for a collected account of Bob Vest’s herding concepts and philosophy

Book overview

The Traveling Herding Teacher contains the teachings of Bob Vest, a herding dog trainer in high demand, who traveled endless miles and conducted hundreds of clinics and private lessons annually. Before Bob's passing in 2009, he traveled to Scotland to have his teachings put together as a collaboration with Kathleen Freeman Kelly. The result is a collection of herding concepts, philosophy, and instruction that represents his years of development and experience as a stockman, herding judge, and herding instructor. The Traveling Herding Teacher should provide an invaluable reference for anyone interested in herding, whether for use on the farm or ranch or in competitions, with many animals or a few, and with any breed of herding dog.

"When you are working your dog, you have to believe that the dog can do it, that you can do it, and that you and your dog can do it together. If you will be persistent, keep your sights on your goals and believe in yourself and your dog, you will be able to accomplish many things." -Bob Vest
