Book Description
Sheep Dog and the Wolf: A Story of Terrorism and Response, and the Sheep Dogs Who Protect, tells about Hunter Caulfield--a man who had long since shaken off his extraordinary past—Hunter had been in the nefarious CIA Phoenix program during the ‘police action' in Vietnam, and had learned a dangerous skill set. His old buddy, now the assistant DCIA, recruits him to be a Sheep Dog—a man who protects the rest of us, the sheep. The U.S. tries diplomacy, bellicosity, threats, embargoes, and a police approach to terrorist devils-incarnate, but none of them works. The president cannot reasonably launch another Iraq or Afghanistan without more harm coming to America. The American public is growing ever more restive. Senior diplomats, military officers, and the administration need a new approach, a new weapon. Sheep Dog is that weapon--an assassin who is a nearly perfectly crafted hunter and killer; a man who can work alone, and who can be disavowed and denied in a moment by a whim of the president.

Book Description
Enjoying GodaEUR(tm)s protection while safely tucked under His wings can cause one to wonder if he needs to take steps to protect himself. Do I need to carry a sword for protection when there are angels in charge of me? Do I need to lock my door with angels camped outside in my yard? Such things I do ponder in my heart. I read in the book of Proverbs that a wise man perceives the times and dangers approaching and prepares his householdaEUR"the fool perishes (Proverbs 22:3). Some say one must live entirely by faith and preparing for a disaster is not living by faith. I wonder, yes, the Lord protected Noah and his family during the great flood, but Noah had to build a boat with his own two hands. The Lord fed a multitude of people with twelve fish, but someone had to catch the fish. He turned water into wine, but someone had to fill the barrel with water from the well. When Satan entered heaven and boldly walked into GodaEUR(tm)s court, the Lord asked him, aEURoeWhere have you been?aEUR Satan replied, aEURoeFrom going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it, to see whom I could devour!aEUR (Job 2:2). We should know that evil can walk right up to us at any given moment, and our sword needs to be ready. If evil can freely and boldly walk into GodaEUR(tm)s court in heaven when he chooses, how much easier for him to walk into our homes, our childrenaEUR(tm)s school, our church, or stand over our bed looking at us while we sleep. King David knew the Lord was watching over him, but he still carried a sword to defend against any evil that may come suddenly upon him, and the Lord Jesus told his disciples that if they did not have a sword, they should go immediately and sell their garments and buy one (Luke 22.36). Indicating it was far better to walk down the street naked than walk down the street unarmed. It is the individualaEUR(tm)s responsibility to protect himself, family, and community when evil approaches. Come, explore this wonderful journey with me.

Book Description
Think Like A Sheepdog Trainer looks at the ancient art of sheepdog training through the lens of science-based learning theory and behavior analysis. It is designed to help you understand how and why a method works and to give you the tools for setting up and evaluating training plans and for approaching training problems in a logical, evidence-based manner. While there are good sheepdog training books available, almost all of them assume the reader has a basic knowledge of sheep and sheep behavior, the skill and experience to train a dog to do complex behaviors, the ability to figure out training steps on their own, and a clear mental picture of what a properly trained herding dog should look like. This book covers several topics that will help you become a more successful sheepdog trainer. Here’s what you can expect: 1. We discuss in detail how to train, manage and communicate with your dog before you take him to sheep. Without a proper relationship and training foundation, working stock with your dog is extremely difficult. 2. We introduce you to science-based learning theory and explain how it can be used to speed up and improve your ability to train your dog. We demonstrate how to evaluate and analyze training techniques so you can choose which ones work best for you and your dog. 3. We describe and discuss the physical and mental traits a sheepdog trainer must cultivate to succeed. People aren’t born as excellent trainers; training is a learned skill that must be practiced and refined. 4. We explain the behavior and handling of sheep. Understanding and knowing how to properly control sheep is essential to your journey in the world of sheepdog training. Many newcomers to herding have no previous experience with sheep. We provide some basic sheep handling exercises to improve your ability to control livestock. 5. We offer detailed lesson plans that break down training sessions into very small and clearly explained steps that a novice handler can apply on her own. This should help you with developing a daily lesson plan, a goal for that day’s lesson and a way to evaluate how you and your dog are progressing. You will discover that having a training plan and metrics to evaluate that plan will help you train faster and more efficiently. 6. Finally, we give you ways to think about training problems and how to approach and solve them in a logical, evidence-based manner. Because people have been training dogs and herding with dogs for many years, some of the methods described here are similar to those found in other books and from other sources. We have chosen training approaches that are widely used, least aversive and easily understood and implemented by an inexperienced trainer. You will find our sources in the resources and recommended reading section at the end of the book. Remember, sheepdog training is a lifelong journey. You will learn something new with every dog you train and with every competition that you enter. We hope this book will help make that journey a little easier. *This book focuses on training Border Collies for United States Border Collie Handlers Association(USBCHA) type trials, but the information is applicable to all herding breeds and herding venues.
