Lessons will be $50. With only 8 working spots, these will fill up quickly! Lessons must be paid in full one week prior to your lesson. No refunds - unless spot can be filled by another team.

The emphasis in all activities is calm, efficient, practical shepherding. Handlers are given thorough grounding on how to help their dogs learn their job of controlling themselves and livestock.
