Do you have a herding dog? Have you ever wondered if your dog would work livestock if given the opportunity? Well, come find out!
Instinct Testing is available at Knotty Pine Ranch by appointment 7 days a week.
- $25.00 per dog.
- No previous experience necessary.
- No choke chains or pinch collars. Flat buckle collars only.
- Dress appropriately for the weather.
- Still photos are fine. No videotaping.
- Plan to spend at least an hour out at the ranch in case there are other test dogs here when you get here.
- Dogs are to be on leash unless instructed otherwise.
- Please pick up after your dog.
Normally, your dog will be put on stock twice. The first time will be with a trainer who will evaluate your dog's interest and keenness. Things can be a little hairy the first time around while the dog figures out what it is his/her instinct is telling it to do. The second time around, things usually appear to be a little more organized, and the dog is generally working out a method. Future lessons are available with me, or I can refer you
to someone in your area.
