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!!!!!
After Morgantown, we brought the gang down to Doswell, VA for the first cluster. It was indeed a good cluster for the gang! Sadly, our competition couldn’t join us, so Chunky didn’t get any points at all. 😦 But, we are slowly ticking away toward the Grand for her! Thursday JUDGE: Mr. Stephen Dainard Sue: 1/W/BW/BP … More Doswell June Cluster #1
We took a pit stop into Morgantown, WV for a few days. No breed competition, but we had some luck in the groups! Fiddle tried obedience on Sunday, and we were unable to finish our graduate novice title because of an NQ on the recall over the broad jump. But she was so much more … More Morgantown, WV
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 worked with Rory on balance, and got Sue on the introductory fundamentals. It was just good to relax, swim, and exist in peace!

We also did some foundations and fundamentals with Sue on both sheep and cattle in the small … More Back to Flying Bucket
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
