We strive to help people with their herding dogs to have calm and quiet control over the livestock. We desire to help people work in unison with thier dogs and gain a true working partnership. Dogs can gain a sense of control and calm power over the livestock if they have an understanding of balance in all situations. A confident and knowledgable handler can communicate properly to their dog and maintain a calm control over a working situation. When there is a balance of trust between the handler, the dog and the livestock there is a true partnership formed. We have experience and enjoy working with most herding breeds, including some of the “less traditional” breeds.
