*** Important Information ***

Dry work including pecking order and obedience will be completed before the dog is taken to stock.  It will be up to the discretion of the trainer to determine when the dog will be ready to be started on stock.  Sheep will be worked by all dogs prior to working cattle.  Basic skills such as the circle exercise will be used to encourage working the flight zone.  Training will continue on to outruns.  Mechanical training such as side commands and driving will be started once their natural instincts have been developed.  It is important to remember that progression is made according to the mental and physical capacity of the dog.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions!  We are always open to customizing our services to meet our client’s individual needs!  If I feel I will be unable to produce the results you are looking for I will be happy to point you in the right direction of another suitable trainer!   I look forward to hearing from you!
