Ros Chimes went out to the sheepdog training ground in Rudyard to find out more... For the last 30 years we have all marvelled at One Man and His Dog - and just how they get those dogs to control those sheep! Our Staffordshire Moorlands reporter Ros Chimes went out to the sheepdog training ground in Rudyard and found out from the experts just what it takes to do the job! Ros met up with Wayne Allen - who is a sheepdog trails champion; Bill Carr - who helpd to organise the event; and John Harvey, who at 79, is a man who certainly knows his sheepdogs... and sheep! Ros has a go at trying to get a whistle which a dog will understand - to having ALL her voice comands ignored...
