Dogs will be worked 2 times in each class with a 2 hour break between each work session.  Classes will include short discussions at the beginning and throughout the day.  Each class is approximately a 4 hour time commitment.

PRE-REGISTRATION BY EMAIL IS REQUIRED.   The number of dogs worked in each class (morning or afternoon) is limited.  Your message subject line must include “Scheduling Classes”.  Let me know the date and session (a.m. or p.m.) that you would like to sign up for.  I will confirm your choice by email.  If you do not get a quick response from me, I may be out of town and will respond as soon as I get back.

Enrollment fees must be pre-paid.  No refunds.

Drop-ins are included only as time allows.  You may have to wait until the afternoon class and may only get one opportunity to work your dog.

Understanding what is required of you and your dog, developing a working relationship between the two of you, and being able to read the livestock is not a quick process.  Students are encouraged to observe other students and their dogs working in class and are encouraged to read ALL the herding information provided on this web site.  As you progress you and your dog will continue to be challenged by this sport.  It is common for beginners to feel quite lost and uncertain.  Occasionally some dogs may seem initially uninterested in the stock.  But as you both grow in confidence and in your understanding of the game, the light goes on and the herding fun begins.
