Training
Our Facilities offer 2 100' x 200' arenas with obstacles, round pens, and fields large enough to do outruns of several hundred feet. Plus a challenging gather in the trees for advanced dogs.
We offer training on sheep, goats, cattle and ducks.
The dogs are let out of their runs twice a day and stay out of the weather under the pole barn roof in large runs with dogloos. I feed Chicken Soup for the Dog Lovers Soul twice a day.
Lessons are available by appointment weekdays and occasional weekends as weather permits. I train year round, because of the need to keep the dogs and the livestock in shape.
