Herding Training
We offer year round training for dogs and handlers to prepare to compete in the AKC, AHBA, and ASCA herding and stock dog programs.
Debbie Pollard is the head trainer at Herding 4 Ewe and is assisted by Melinda Balint and Susan Chepeska. Lessons are offered Tuesday through Friday, both day and evenings. Due to our busy trialing schedule, weekends are not available.
We will soon post a link to a page with our students' many accomplishments. Stay tuned!
Note: We are currently in the midst of trialing season, and are unable to accept new students at this time. Please e-mail us to be put on the waiting list for available openings. Thank you.

I had seen Sid as a young dog and loved his strength and hardness. He was such a handsome and substantial Border Collie. I had mentioned to his owner, Audrey Kassel, that if she ever wanted to place him to let me know. I saw great potential in Sid, and knew he would be the dog for me. And to my good fortune Audrey brought him to me in 2004. He was needed to replace my great, old boy, Rue, as the Head Stock Handler.
Sid has been everything I hoped for. He has the presence and power to move anything, the common sense to make it look easy, and the speed to get it done fast! He is a great school dog, and many of my students have had fun working him. He helps set sheep for all of our trials; never complaining working all day - heat or rain. He can teach even the greenest of handlers exactly how things should run on trial days.
Although Sid has never done any competing he is invaluable to me as a working dog. THANK YOU Audrey for letting him come work for me.

Lance is a great young dog with a strong cow-dog pedigree. In addition to being trained to become the head ranch dog here at Herding 4 Ewe, I plan to train and trial Lance until Sid retires. I have a feeling Lance is going to keep me on my toes!
Thank you to Kathy and Gerry for sending this amazing young dog to me.
