Dave Viklund from Molalla,Oregon Double V Stockdogs, will be at the Farm for a 3 day herding clinic.  Dave has been working with and training all herding breeds including Border Collies, Kelpies, Cattle Dogs, as well as unexpected breeds like Greater Swiss Mountain dogs and Spanish Water dogs.   He takes a common sense approach to handling dogs based upon the needs of the livestock.  Using teamwork and communication, he focuses on the handler communicating with the dog and allowing the dog to communicate with the livestock.

Preference for working spots will be given to those signing up for 3 days.  This is an all day clinic and there is much to be learned from watching others and listening, but we will work around schedules to accommodate commitments.
