CATTLE DOG TRAINING EXTRAVAGANZA NOV 22-24, 2024

 November 22-24, 2024
Arcadia Ranch

This 3-Day Camp is all about the cow and cow dog! We will be bringing in a lot of different types of cattle! We will have cattle of varying levels of difficulty all weekend long! We will learn everything from properly dog gentling cattle, to learning where to be to help your dog. We will learn how to sort cattle, move safely around the cattle for both dog and handler, work pens and alleys. Field work is an option as well.

I will show you what I do to gentle cattle using dogs. I will show you some training techniques that helped me train the 2022 ASCA National Finals Cattle Champion, Copper.  Get ready to learn how to work cattle from chutes, alleys, sorting and penning. It's all about the COW this month.

We will have limited spots and require a $100 non-refundable deposit. This is expensive for us to put on, and we are looking for a serious commitment from participants.
The last cattle camp, The Cattle Extravaganza was well-attended and we had tons of positive feedback. We are adding a day to the camp to allow for more ground work.

Prerequisites: Dogs must be well-started at least on sheep. This is not a camp for beginners or dogs less than 1 year old. If you wonder if your dog will qualify, contact Jacque for an eval before registering. Dogs must have at least an off stock call off and reliable on stock down/stop to work cattle safely.

Stockdog Herding Camps are a great way to get lots of working time with your dog. It's a great place to troubleshoot issues and learn new skills. Learn from other handler and dog teams. In past camps we have worked on ranch skills like sorting, holding gates, driving, keeping stock off food, pressure release techniques, pasture gathers and more! We also work on fine tuning training to prepare for trials and more precise work.

Each dog and handler team will get individual attention, lots of work time and customized training to meet their individual needs. It is a great time of learning and socialization for dogs and humans!

Some comments from past students:

"WOW! Thanks Jacqueline Kimber and I learned a lot. The progress we made in a couple days is unmeasurable."

"It was great fun and I learned a lot!"

"Thanks for the hospitality! I enjoyed the day and the people. I appreciate your input. Glad to be on this dog journey with mostly like-minded people. Looking forward to the next time!"

Cost: $450 for 3-day Cattle Extravaganza
