Herding

We would love to find a place to let our dog run around with some sheep and check out her instincts. She is always herding us and our guests into one room and her toys near her bed.

We are located in Central NJ and Baltimore, MD.
Does anyone know of a farm to bring the pup?

I can't help you with names (as I'm in MN), but there are several eastern members who should be able to help you out.

Good luck and have fun :D
I can't help you directly, but just want to add that we did this with our puppy, and it was one of the best days ever, she passed the instinct test with flying colours, and we'll get her into regular herding training this fall. Good luck!

Here was a short video of part of the test:

Now if only I could find a place nearby. We are willing to travel a bit but I cannot find anywhere to travel too.

Did you check with some of the organizations that do testing and trials?

AKC - go to the events page

AHBA - American Herding Breed Assoc.

ASCA - Australian Shepherd Club of America

all 3 do events, maybe there is an active group for one of them in your area that you can contact.

Good luck :D
In April some of us on the forum met up at a farm for sheep herding and it was a great time! The farm was called Raspberry Farm in PA...maybe not far from you. the woman name was Carolyn. Mike with Molly brown planned it all...Mike, are you out there tio give some info????
Thanks everyone. We are currently setting up an instinct test a place about an hour away. We are really excited to see how she does
Good luck! :crossed:
