INTRODUCING:
Improve your stock dog training program. Two-part workshop series.
Jen opened a whole new experience for me.
She emphasizes the basics, explains why they are so important and how they build the foundation for success in the more advanced work.
Sandra, Prince George
I find Jen's methods and explanations easy to follow and transfer to my dog.
Thanks for designing this unique stock dog program. I hope there are more courses on the way!
Julie, Montana
I absolutely love Jen's positive approach and working with the dog's natural ability!
I am a complete novice - no herding experience. Her videos and webinars contain so much information! I have such a better understanding of herding!
Jerri, Quebec
Jen made it look so easy, but her teaching was also easy to understand.
It took me the few days of clinic to totally understand how the magic worked, but with practice my dog's flanks, approach, pace and outruns all improved. Even the old dog. who had terrible flanks improved. So Jen, when are you coming back to Nova Scotia!
Paula, Nova Scotia
I highly recommend an in-person clinic or to work with Jennifer through her online offerings.
Jen has played an important role in my introduction to sheepdog handling. She is a great clinician, calm and patient explaining concepts, focuses on strong fundamentals and helping students through the big learning curve that comes with learning a new sport.

Mastering the Lift (approach) to the Stock

MONTHLY GUIDE:

(Value = $67)
A monthly guide created by a stock dog trainer for stock dog owners. Make the commitment to fulfill you "day dream". Personalize this planner to create small, day to day changes for yourself & your dog.
This two-part workshop is the first program of it's kind to include both the theoretical as well as practical aspects of training your stock dog.
Have a look at our favourite two components of the Develop Consistent Training Methods series:
Consistency - The Topic
After surveying close to 300 stock dog owners. Consistency, or rather LACK of consistency was by far the topic most mentioned when it came to training. You asked, we provided - a full series on the topic of consistency within your training program.
Community
Not only do we provide a two part series on developing consistent training methods, but also provide supports such as an Action guide, FB community, Practical training videos, and the Ultimate monthly training planner.
I started my journey with my border collies 30 years ago, but back then, resources were limited to books, videos, and friends. It was tough to understand the relationship between the stock-handler-dog, but with years of experience, I am happy to share my knowledge.
I have a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a minor in Microbiology, as well as a Master's Education.
I've competed internationally, had multiple trial placings with multiple dogs, and taught clinics all across Canada. Plus, I'm a high school educator with a passion for teaching and designing curriculums.
That means you'll get clear and easy-to-follow lessons that will save you time and frustration.
Let's get training!
