Dog and Crook Farm

We enjoy working with sheep, but Border Collies are our passion. We train working Border Collies and their handlers to work and manage stock. I work primarily with Border Collies and with shepherds learning to use their dogs. It is often a steep learning curve but a very useful partnership in the end. The idea is to reach a point where the dog and shepherd become a team that work flawlessly through the day’s chores.

We offer private lessons as well as our “dog days” where we invite handlers to bring their dogs to work our sheep. All levels of skill and any working stock dog breed are welcome. To find out more about our lessons or a “dog day” email me at dogandcrookfarm@yahoo.com . We also occasionally have puppies or started dogs available, and do several working dog demos throughout the year.
