Focusing on that crucial moment when a young dog is first let loose with sheep, Glyn Jones shows how he teaches the four key commands and gains the dog's willing co-operation. This is the core requirement in the training of a sheepdog to any level and the element that newcomers find so hard to master. He is joined on the programme by the late Eric Halsall, one of Britain's leading writers about sheepdogs and trialling.

This is the first of a series of three programmes, the others being:

That'll Do! (Widening the sheepdog's experience and reducing command contact)
Take Time! (Improving the skills of working dogs and handlers to nursery trials level).
