Sheep Dog training classes and clinics will recommence in March 2010. Book in now to save your place. Please note there are some clinics here at Rathdowney and some at a property at Woodford. Ensure you check the location before booking.
Also many people are looking for Private training sessions with me. It is difficult to go one-on-one as one dog does need a break throughout the session. To accommodate people that want private sessions, I have opened up Thursday afternoons here at Innisplain. From 4pm to 7pm for 1-2 people only. You must book for these sessions. Other days may be arranged by appointment. If you can fit into my Thursday afternoon training it will be $100 per person. Email me at workingsheepdogshow@bigpond.com or phone on 0427 696668 to book in.
