Working Dogs & Livestock Handling Demonstrations - Neil McDonald
Neil McDonald travels around Australia delivering Livestock Handling and Working Dog Schools, helping to educate graziers on developing calm and safe routines for moving cattle. His approach prioritises educating people first, followed by cattle, and then dogs. This method results in cooperative and predictable cattle, which improves pasture management and productivity.
The ABC's Muster Dogs TV program host Neil McDonald has dedicated his career to helping stock handlers. The key, Neil said, is understanding how the animals think and how they interpret instructions.
Neil emphasises understanding the natural instincts of dogs and cattle, and with a strong dose of humour and personal stories, Neil is an engaging and knowledgeable presenter. He advocates for practicing skills with a trainer herd and highlights the importance of harmony between people, cattle, and dogs during cattle movement.
