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
So, I had some time available and decided to head down to herd with Auntie Terri. We spent time on the water, building fundamentals of driving with Fiddle, Mazikeen, and Chunky.

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
It is time again for the Jan Wesen clinic! It was at Cherry Hill Farm in Honeyone Falls, NY. On the first day of the clinic, I worked Sue, Rory, Chunky, and Mazikeen on the fundamental steps. And then the next two days, I worked Rory, Chunky, Mazikeen, and Fiddle interchangeably (depending on the exercises … More Jan Wesen – Upstate NY
One of the things that I really need to be successful is just having the time to work my dogs on stock, especially cattle. Getting security moving stock away from me, holding pressure and gathering the stock up the middle of the field. I had the Fiddle crew with me (Fiddle, Mazikeen, Chunky, Rory, Sue), … More Working at Flying Bucket Farm
