In-Person Events & Clinics

We host a variety of clinics, competitions and online opportunities throughout the year.

Our small group classes ensure teams receive the personal attention needed to improve and progress. Our training venue includes a round pen, arena, 2-acre training field, 17 and 40-acre fields. Jen works with heading breeds only such as Border Collies & Kelpies. Come and enjoy a weekend of training, food, and friendship!
