I brought out Baby Sue and Chunky to work at the Jan Wesen clinic at Cherry Hill in New York. We did some really neat things. Sue is still struggling a bit with off balance work and it took him some time to relax over the course of a few days. This was a very … More Jan Wesen Clinic – New York
After the show in West Friendship, we packed the gear and hit the road to my favorite place in Maine to work with Jan Wesen to prepare for the upcoming ASCA Trial. We did like, 5-8 rounds in a day, working on packed pen, in pressure, working the gauntlet of obstacles, driving, shedding, and walking … More Jan Wesen in Maine
I finally got to go to my friend Kathy’s house for a clinic with my favorite clinician! We worked some cows that are not super used to dogs working them, so we had to put a different type of pressure on them to hold them. I worked Mazikeen, Rory, and Chunky through two spots the … More Dave Viklund in Tazwell, TN!!!!!
The first weekend in June, I decided to hang out with my bestie, Anya, at a David Henry clinic. I brought Mazikeen and Rory with me. They were running a colt breaking clinic in the arena, so we used a small indoor facility. This group of sheep didn’t really understand what driving was, so Mazikeen … More David Henry Clinic
We did a quick turnaround to go up to Maine for another Jan clinic. This group had been inviting me up for years, and this is the first time that I could take them up on it. The weather was TERRIBLE, like 40 degrees and raining, so we moved to an inside setup in Searsport! … More Jan Wesen – Prospect, Maine

And then the next two days, I worked Rory, Chunky, Mazikeen, and Fiddle interchangeably (depending on the exercises … More Jan Wesen – Upstate NY
I have worked with a lot of clinicians in the past, and some of these lessons are starting to sink into my skull. I am becoming much calmer in handling cattle and my dogs, however, I am still sort of in the way. So the entire goal of this clinic was to be far enough … More John Holman Clinic
After the national Dog Show, we took the day off of work and worked with some freshly weaned calves with Mazikeen and Chunky. We really had to reach hard through to get them to lift off the fence and start to fetch in the middle. I really had to work with my timing and positioning, … More John Holman Clinic
I always love working with Dave Viklund. I had two working spots all four days. One for Mazikeen (trying to cross into advanced level work), and Rory and Chunky split a spot. Chunky has been struggling a bit with catching the eye of her sheep and not moving along to balance, OR, she overflanks and … More Dave Viklund – Burlington, IL
