Training
The training takes place all year round and is designed for the
committed handler who wishes to title her or his dog with an HGH
Herding Title.
All lessons are individual instructions only. 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. 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.
