ASCA Hall of Fame Excellent Kennel #25
Hear from our students:
“Dawna and Megan have the unique ability to train the human as well as the dog. On a deeper level, they honor your dog's instincts as well as acknowledge your relationship with your dog. They never give up and they devise some pretty inventive ways to achieve training objectives. Seeing the joy in a dog working stock is priceless; I'm truly grateful to Dawna & Megan for giving that blessing to our dogs. ”
Brenda H.“I was having a really hard time with herding until I met Dawna and Megan. The ICE method soon had my out-of-control dogs working calmly and instinctually. Dallas and Ty both became a joy to work. During my long illness, Dawna took one of my dogs, trained him, and took him to Border Collie Nationals. He won a high in trial and a reserved high in trial. Their camps are something I look forward to every year. People find it hard to believe when I tell them some of the things that our dogs accomplished at these camps.. when Dawna and Megan say we’re going to learn to trust our dogs, they mean what they say. They will teach you to value and appreciate your dog. You will learn the meaning of their favorite saying. “You don’t always get the dog you want, sometimes you get the dog you need”. Many thanks to Dawna and Megan, they taught me how to be a real handler.”
Kim W“I have been trying to be successful in herding for many years. The challenge was working a different breed and being a green handler. Things came together when I was able to start to work with Dawna and Megan. My dogs have achieved so much more than I ever thought possible with their training. Two of my dogs have achieved multiple herding championships and are the first two dual champions in the breed. We continue to improve, and I look forward to every lesson, camp or clinic. There is always an aha moment. What makes me the happiest is to see my dogs developing their skills and maintaining their instincts.”
Michelle F“As a somewhat experienced Stockdog person who has put training and titles on a few dogs in the past, and also having experienced several in person classes and clinics instructed by Dawna and Megan, I already had a reasonable expectation of the exceptional quality of the educational material that would be offered in the online classes. The depth of knowledge and the attention to detail of “how and why” as well as the breakdown of all the things that go into building a solid stockdog and partner just really exceeded my expectations. ”
