Working in Texas with Sara Jo Gahm

July 28, 2024

After spending time working sheep in Tennessee, we drove down to Erin’s house in Texas. All of the dogs were worked, including Ukulele and Mr. Poof. I had 4 spaces working the Sara Jo-Gahm, who had a lot of herding champions with cattle dogs before getting into border collies. I struggle a lot with micromanaging, … More Working in Texas with Sara Jo Gahm

Herding at Berryville

July 22, 2024

After we showed on Sunday, we went up to Susans house and worked Brie, Ukulele, and Rory on cattle in the small pen, before working Brie, Mazikeen, Fiddle, Chunky, and our friend Willow in the 100 x 100 arena.

Herding Day in Berryville!

June 26, 2024

I need a lot more mileage on cows and confidence with dogs, so I went up to Berryville, VA, and took Rory, Fiddle, Ukulele, Mazikeen, and Azula up to work on gathering stock to me, setting up how to drive and hold lines and pressure! It was a wonderful Wednesday afternoon. Mazikeen working on an … More Herding Day in Berryville!

Herding in Berryville, VA

June 16, 2024

After a weekend snow day, the husband and I packed all of the dogs and headed out to work cattle in Berryville,  VA. Brie, Ukulele, and Rory worked in the small pen on calm, collected work under pressure. Where Mazikeen,  Fiddle, and Chunky worked in the 100 × 100 field on flanking, the triangle exercise, … More Herding in Berryville, VA

Larry Painter Clinic, Berryville, VA – Brie

June 14, 2024

So, I split this clinic with my husband’s dog Brie working Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Brie, at almost 2 years of age, really showed some amazing things. Head biting and holding head pressure is coming a long way. She is learning how to stop, and offer square flanks in the small pen area. My husband … More Larry Painter Clinic, Berryville, VA – Brie

Larry Painter Clinic, Berryville, VA – Mazikeen

June 12, 2024

Well, nothing like updating a blog for events that happened from January 10-14th in Mid June… Mazikeen and I had quite a bit of setbacks at the beginning of this clinic. She laid down the best arena run of her life at the January trial, and I got her into the arena for my lesson, … More Larry Painter Clinic, Berryville, VA – Mazikeen

Larry Painter Clinic in Berryville, VA – Chunky

April 9, 2024

I learned something working Chunky at this clinic… 1) I pushed a bit too fast to get her into the big arena 2) She is super good at arguing with me with a smile on her face. Ok, point 2 doesn’t exactly describe it quite right… BUT, we were struggling to roll shoulders out and … More Larry Painter Clinic in Berryville, VA – Chunky

Larry Painter Clinic in Berryville, VA – Fiddle

April 4, 2024

So, for the first two days of the Larry Painter Clinic, I worked Fiddle in one working session a day for the first few days. Fiddle doesn’t really have the cover speed to cast out super wide to peel the running cows off the fence. We had to work on casting out REALLY WIDE to … More Larry Painter Clinic in Berryville, VA – Fiddle

New Years Herding Trial!

March 29, 2024

This weekend was where I showed the progress we were making! We didn’t see it in the qualifying rate, picking up only one Intermediate Cattle leg with Fiddle, but we did some of the best trialing that I have ever done. Cheers to progress!

November Cattle Lessons in Berryville

March 14, 2024

After the November Herding Trial, we discovered that I was struggling to put together a full trial run, as I haven’t been training for that particular skill. We need to get the cows to fetch up the middle, then drive them down to the fence to the y chute, around the back of the course, … More November Cattle Lessons in Berryville
