Training and Working Dogs: For Quiet Confident Control of Stock by Scott Lithgow is a practical non‑fiction guide that blends animal behavior with farm management, ideal for both young adults and adults interested in dog training, sheepdogs, and stock work. The book is illustrated by Don Morris, adding clear visual support to the detailed techniques.
The paperback, published in 1987 by University of Queensland Press, is in good vintage condition with a tight binding and clean, tidy pages from a smoke‑free home. The front inner cover bears an inscription, the front paper shows a small mark at the page join and a personal stamp in the top corner, and the closed page edge has slight thumbing, but these are minor and do not affect readability.
At 227 pages the volume covers farm animal handling, cattle and sheepdog training, and broader pet and environmental topics, making it a valuable reference for anyone working with working dogs on the farm.
