BonaFide Happy Herders

Herding breeds like shelties, border collies and corgis are popular in homes around the world. They are highly intelligent, have a lot of energy and love to have a job! The very traits that make them so endearing also mean they need a great deal of mental stimulation, vigorous exercise and good basic training to be healthy, happy members of the family!

Come and learn about the special nuances of herding breeds and how to live happily with a herder in your home! We will discuss the history and development of the different herding breeds, the drives behind their behaviors and how to deal with common problem behaviors.

We will also look at many different activities you can do with your herding dog, including agility, obedience, conformation, herding (of course!) and much, much more in this six-week sampler class designed specifically for herding breeds! Each week we will practice basic obedience skills (sit, down, come, walk on leash) as well as introduce you and your dog to a fun activity you two can enjoy together!
