Clinics are set up for all levels of stockdog training with all the working breeds, specializing in the working Border Collie.

Clinics for practical obedience, manners and behavioral problems are also available for all breeds. You pick the clinic that fits both you and your dog.

The training facility offers large open fields as well as smaller working paddocks, with sheep, cows and ducks available to work with.
