What past students say...

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, New 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

Hi, I'm Jennifer

I'm here to make stock dog training less intimidating and more accessible.

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!

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can I expect to see results?

This will depend on your availability to regular practice. Most handlers see results quite quickly if they train for short sessions 3 to 5 times per week.

Do I need access to stock to complete this course?

Yes, if you wish to fully train your dog. There is no substitute for time with stock.

Will this course be everything I need to fully train my dog?

While this series is a stand-alone course, it is designed to specifically target the problems of over-controlling and excessive commanding. It is NOT meant to be a complete training program. Our Bootcamp Program covers everything you need from A-Z to fully train your dog.

What if I can't finish all the lessons within a month?

You have unlimited access to the Train for Transformation series for as long as the course is LIVE! I hope that's for many years to come.
