Herding Classes

Whether your dog is a city dog or a working dog, sheep herding could be the sport for you! That is because some dogs are meant to herd sheep, especially herding breeds.Without that outlet they can often become frustrated and difficult companions.

Herding Instinct Test

$85

Before beginning training, the dog’s aptitude for moving livestock is assessed. The trainer guides the dog in an arena with a small flock of sheep in order to gauge the dog’s level of willingness to work, and help bring out their herding instinct.

Once a dog “turns on” and begins herding the trainer will assess the dog’s individual herding style and determine the proper custom training program for each dog. The owner will receive a complete written report and explanation of the instinct test.

The herding instinct evaluation is educational, and both mentally and physically a stimulating experience for the dog and owner team.

Training a dog to herd livestock channels their instincts. Herding can bring out immense confidence, calm frustration and release pent up energy. It teaches your dog to problem solve and can dramatically improve their temperament.

Not sure if your dog would be interested in herding sheep? Come take our “herding instinct evaluation”! All herding breeds are welcome. More breeds than you think have a herding background!
