NOTE RE: NOVICE CLASS JUNE 21:

WOW!!! I have never had a class like this before!!!! I built a training course, to teach you all something...and after the first round, there were 11 Q's, and 1 dog who didnt climb in time (all dogs found the rat within time). Never have I had a class hit it out of the park on the first round of runs...so I did something ive never done before....I made it a competition, with placement ribbons. Thank you all for coming out and making me smile BIG! You were ALL winners today!!! I double dog dare you to do that again ;)

p.s. and I even warned you that there were 2 (as in two) smelly litter tubes on the course

REMINDER: This Saturday (June 14) is our Intro to BARN HUNT class, from 10:30-12:30. No experience or obedience needed. Its my favorite class that we teach. $30 per pupper (cash or check, no credit cards). Come out and have some fun...rain or shine.
What you will need for Barn Hunt?
A dog, a chair, treats, and a sense of humor
so here is some practice:
Why did the cowboy get a Dachshund?
(Because someone said "Get a long little doggie!")
if you laughed, come on and have a good time. If you snickered, you will be fine. If you rolled your eyes or groaned, you may want to work on that sense of humor before Saturday

UPDATE: We are holding a FARM DOG CERTIFICATION CLINIC on Saturday August 9, at 2:00. I have applied to AKC for us to hold 2 trials a couple of weeks after the clinic. I will create a trial event once AKC has notified us that we are approved for the date.

We will have a clinic/practice session on taking the AKC Farm Dog Certification test (Marilynn and I are both AKC judges). The cost for the clinic will be $30 per dog (cash or check). This will give you a good idea if your dog is ready for the test. We will work through any issues your dog may have. 🙂
Student spaces are limited, so email me at [email protected] or list your dogs name on this post to reserve your spot.

Dont know what a AKC Farm Dog certification is? Click on the link at the bottom for the details. Basically its an AKC CGC (Canine Good Citizen) certification for a farm dog. There is no herding involved.
