Training
The training is designed for the committed handler who wishes to
title her or his dog with an HGH Herding Title. There are
two openings for new students available.
All lessons are individual instructions only. The cost
is $50 per lesson. Preferable breeds are the so-called tending breeds
such as German Shepherd Dogs, Belgian Sheepdogs (all varieties), Briards,
and Beaucerons. Border Collies and breeds working in a similar style are
not suitable.
The lessons are given at my farm. Although a real training
facility doesn't exist because of the risk of a routine training,
all elements needed are included in the training.
Instinct Tests
The instinct tests are offered for tending breeds only. They are
intended for people who wish to train a dog at White Clover Sheep
Farm. No previous training is required. The fee is $50. During such
a test I find out if the dog is interested in sheep and if one could
attempt herding training. Please only inquire testing your dog if
you wish to train and title your dog.
