<p>This is a very frank interview! Someone said to me that they have heard all the Churchmount interviews on soundcloud and that this one is by far the best. This one is where the world renowned Nigel Watkins is talking sheepdogs. Nigel is true to form with<b><em> no holds barred!</em></b></p><p>Nigel tells me about how Foot and Mouth disease closed down sheepdog trials in 2001. But it was different then because trials could reopen at any time.<em> ‘Nobody knew when, nothing was cancelled’ .</em> Whereas this time with the Covid, everything is cancelled for the year. Nationals, International and the World Trial are all cancelled.</p><p>In this interview, Nigel goes on to talk about trialling and judging internationally. he talks about how preparation is very important now and how all the top handlers prepare their dogs for sheepdog trials. </p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.patreon.com/churchmountsheepdogs">Support the Show.</a></p>

<p>Erik is a world class handler but he is the kind of trainer who adjusts his training and thinking to whatever dog he is working with. Erik also shares his knowledge and experience, by giving lessons to handlers at his <a href='http://www.holmgaarderik.dk/'>training centre</a> in Denmark and also doing a number of clinics internationally every year.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.patreon.com/churchmountsheepdogs">Support the Show.</a></p>

<p>I first met sheepdog trainer and handler, Mr. Tony Rofe, when we traveled together on a trip to the European Nursery Championship in Holland. The ENC is a sheepdog trial where Border Collies from all over Europe, the UK and Ireland can go to compete. In this interview, Tony tells us of the benefits to round pen sheepdog training.</p><p>The one thing that most impressed me most with Tony Rofe, is just how much he can squeeze into a training session with a young dog. Tony thinks about what he is doing before he ever puts a lead on a pup, and from the moment it goes on, that pup is in training.</p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.patreon.com/churchmountsheepdogs">Support the Show.</a></p>
