PRO RATED DISCOUNT AVAILABLE FOR PACKAGE PARTICIPANTS
Saturday and Sunday Herding Clinics are open to a limited number of dogs (maximum of 6) and are designed
for the intermediate to advanced herding handler. Owners who attend these clinics should have enough
herding experience to work safely with livestock during unsupervised herding practice. Handlers must
also understand how to apply positive reinforcement training principles to herding training. You can
obtain this experience and knowledge by first attending one of the other behavioral or herding training
seminars/workshops/camps at Raspberry Ridge or through private lesson equivalent.
Dogs with a keen desire to herd will especially benefit from this format, as well as
handlers who wish to immerse themselves and their dogs in herding. During the 3 hour
clinic, Carolyn Wilki will be available to each handler at least once during the clinic
for a lesson or consultation. Sheep will be herded in a variety of locations, including
small pens, standard trial pens, and a 40 acre field. Handlers are asked to bring a small
notebook to write out their training goals and record their results. The use of positive
reinforcement training for behavior modification in herding will be emphasized. If
weather & interest permits, we might even go skiing or hiking!
