Sheep Herding
Unleash your dog's instincts
We are so pleased to be bringing herding instinct testing to this event. There is no greater thrill than watching your dogs instincts come to life and seeing the hidden skill set they possess. We are fortunate to have Lisa and Stephen Dahr joining us from Nova Scotia to test dogs out on sheep. This event will take place in an indoor arena.
​
Your session will include instinct testing and learning about herding. You'll come away with a summary of your dogs experience on sheep as well as an (unofficial) Herding Instinct Tested certificate.

Your Trainers
Stephen and Lisa Dahr have been working with dogs since the 1990’s. Their introduction to herding came with their first Australian Shepherd and since then they have been dedicated to improving their own knowledge of the sport for over two decades.
They believe in using positive approaches to dog training and that herding is one of the highest forms of partnership and team work that can exist between a dog and handler. Stephen and Lisa have both competed with their respective dogs in various herding venues, earning various titles and High in Trials as well as qualifying for Most Versatile Australian Shepherd at the Australian Shepherd Club of America (ASCA) Nationals in Texas. They have benefited from clinics and coaching over the years with a variety of highly skilled trainers.
At their home farm property they offer testing, lessons and clinics. They look forward to working with you to discover and develop the natural instinct within your dog and to help you build your relationship with your canine companion.
