"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 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
To me, it's like unlocking the code to each dog.
"I've learnt an incredible amount since joining the Bootcamp. My team of 4 are all so different...you have given me the confidence to try different things with each dog."
Patricia, NSW, Australia
I am finding the Bootcamp lessons are very easy to follow.
"I am finding the Bootcamp lessons are very easy to follow. I watch them most mornings while I drink my coffee! This is MY time. Less expensive than driving to a clinic too! Thanks for designing this unique stock dog program."
Susan, Ontario
Jennifer's instructions and exercises are easily understood and doable.
"I love Jennifer's training methods. Her instructions and exercises are easily understood and doable, and I can go back and check the videos anytime I’m not sure. The journey to training will be made much easier with her bootcamp program. Thank you for your time and dedication."

We train for handler & dog transformation!
Transform your stock dog into a well-trained working partner, so you can move stock calmly & efficiently.
The Dore River Bootcamp is an excellent program for those who are new to herding, struggling with your training or just need some tips to fix some issues with your dog.
"Jen’s experience as a teacher lends itself very well in her training methods and helping others understand the concepts involved in stock dog training. In addition to the videos in the bootcamp, Jen also posts additional videos to show how to overcome common problems and tips for training as well as motivational messages to keep you going. She also helps you out if you get stuck along the way with email messages and her Q and A zoom sessions. This training has been well worth the money and I would recommend the program to anyone interested in furthering their herding goals."
Geoff, Alberta
I have been lucky enough to train with her in-person and online!
"I first met Jen in 2014 at a clinic - since that time I have been lucky enough to train with her in person and on line, she has also done an in person clinic at my farm. She has helped me start my young dogs, given me trialing strategy, work on problem areas with my older dogs and most importantly helped me improve my handling skills to meet my individually dogs needs."
Nancy, British Columbia
"I am really enjoying the Bootcamp online training videos, they are really well done"
Brandy-Lee, Alberta
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."
