We offer:

Coaching. Our philosophy is that true partnership between dog & handler, with a strong foundation of skills, is the only path to success; and these are accomplished by channeling the dog's working talent, not harsh methods.

Sheep Camps. These popular weekend camps, with at least two working sessions per day, and a small group of six attendees, an excellent way to make solid progress, fast. Camps occur three times a year; in the fall, winter, and spring.

Sponsored Clinics and Lessons. Periodically, we bring in top-notch tainers and handlers for clinics and lessons.

Herding demonstrations & Entertaining talks, to educate the public or private groups on the shepherding heritage & training of working dogs. Contact us for more information.

Sheepdog Trials. We host a USBCHA & NEBCA sheepdog trial, for all levels, generally in the early spring. In 2011, this trial will move to October.

Stud service, by proven working dogs & producers, to approved bitches.

Naturally raised Lamb and Mutton for your freezer.

And, sometimes - puppies, started, and fully trained dogs for sale.

Please come in an browse around - and contact us if you would like more information. We'd love to hear from you!
