Sheep Herding, Stockdog, and Agility
Training For Your Dog
Getting Started With Sheep Herding
Your dog needs to pass a herding evaluation test to determine if sheep herding is appropriate for your dog. In this evaluation, you and your dog are brought into a small pen with sheep and the instructor. Most dogs immeidately charge and chase the sheep, but the tester will attempt to modify the chase into a constructive herding behavior. We are looking for a dog that wants to keep the sheep together and begins circling. Upon successful completion, you will be given a written evaluation and certificate of passing, and you will be invited to begin herding lessons with your dog.
Instinct Tests are offered twice a month by appointment only, and pre-registration is required. You will need to dress appropriately for the weather (durable shoes/boots, a hat for the sun, etc.), and your dog must be on a leash.
