Training
Clinics
The training clinic will be held
in Switzerland County in Fairview, Indiana. ( 1 hr from
Cincinnati,OH
2hrs from Indianapolis,IN 2 hrs from Lexington, KY)
The Clinics are Open to ALL Levels.
We will be limiting the number of working/dog spots to allow each
handler /
dog team to work twice a day.
The sheep will be wool sheep and lambs along with a few young
Katahdins. There are appropriate sheep for all work.
We have a variety of places to work in - a round pen, a small pasture,
a 9 acre hay field and a 40 acre crop field in the early spring and
late fall.
Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
ALL dogs coming onto the property must be current on vaccinations and
flea and tick prevention
If you would like to work more than one dog please contact me.
Clinic Format
The usual clinic format - working once before lunch
and then
again afterward.
If you want to work a different dog in the morning and afternoon
sessions this must be OK'd by the clinician.
You may
enter any or all days of the clinic
Clinics are set up so that you learn from every handler and dog that is
attending the clinic.
It is not necessarily the amount of time You work with Your Dog that
will be the most beneficial - it is the information you take home
from the clinic that will help you with each dog you work with.
It is a good idea to come to the clinic with goals for yourself but the
clinician may see other things that need to be addressed.
You may want to consider private lessons if the clinic format and
learning from everyone else is not what you are looking for.
I expect everyone will be encouraging and respectful of each other.
Dogs must be on a leash when not working.
You need to pick up after your dog.
Each clinician will hold the clinic as they see best.
.
Audit places are available for all

We will adjust the clinic start time depending on the time of
year, temperatures and
do what is best for the dogs and livestock.
We will work
rain or shine.
Limited camper
parking and only if ground is solid/dry - no hookups
All those wanting to camp must ask ahead of time
several RV parks within a 30 min drive
If you are wanting to camp you need to contact me, depending on the
time of year I may not know until a couple days before the clinic
if
camping will be possible.
I would hate for you to get in and get stuck if it is wet.
My guard dogs can present a problem because I need them loose during
the night to do their jobs
Be sure to bring a chair, notepad, dog crate you can set in the shade,
ect.
We will try to get together with everyone and go out to supper one
evening.
