Australian Sheep Dogs Training & Handling by R Cavanagh is a practical non‑fiction guide that walks readers through the basics of training, handling and caring for Australia’s iconic working dogs. The book balances clear instruction with engaging illustrations, making it useful for young readers, hobbyists and seasoned farmers alike.
Cavanagh covers animal psychology, welfare and hands‑on techniques, offering step‑by‑step advice that can be applied on any farm or paddock. The illustrated pages include helpful diagrams and photos that bring the training methods to life for anyone interested in animal care or farm life.
This 1990 hardcover comes with its original dust jacket and is in solid condition: the binding is tight, pages are clean and tidy, and there is only light foxing on the front paper and the closed page edge. The front paper bears an inscription, and the book has been kept in a smoke‑free home.
A vintage edition from the 1990s, it makes a fine addition to collections of Australian history, farming, animal training or general reference works.
