Herding Instruction​

  • Christa not only trains and competes with her own dogs but also offers lessons to those that share the passion of herding. Whether training for a trial or working stock on your farm, Christa is available to help. 

  • Most AKC breeds are welcome for training and stock rental is available. 

  • I have over 19 years stock experience and have trained different breeds (loose eye and eye) to advanced levels and championships on sheep, ducks and cattle. 

  • Contact me to begin training with your dog. I'm available weekdays and most weekends.

  • I am also an AKC and AHBA approved judge. ​​
