ADDITIONAL GROUP HERDING LESSON DATES ADDED FOR MAY, JUNE AND JULY!Our ISSDC SE Region members have been having such a great time taking their group herding lessons that additional dates have been arranged and added to the schedule!
WHAT: Members of the ISSDC SE Region are taking group herding lessons at Keepstone Farm for their Shiloh Shepherds from Susan Rhodes. If you attended the ISSDC Herding Trial last November you will be familiar with Keepstone Farm and Susan. For those unfamiliar, Keepstone Farm is where the Fab Five Shilohs (who earned AHBA acceptance/recognition for the Shiloh Shepherd breed) trained.
Members are getting together as a "group," however, lessons are taken per individual dog, are hands on and are 20 minutes long per dog. If you are interested in attending, want to reserve a spot or have any questions, please contact Marti Nottingham for further information and/or clarification.
WHEN:
April 26 – lessons begin @ 1pm
May 9th – lessons begin @ 11 am
May 31st – lessons begin @ 10 am
June 13th – lessons begin @ 10 am
June 20th – lessons begin @ 9 am
July 18th – lessons begin @ 10 am
WHERE:
Keepstone Farm, 412 Russell Road, Berryville, VA.
From Rt 660, go 3/10 mile, turn Right at large Keepstone Farm sign (Dog Gone Healthy sign below). Follow farm lane to left turn at #412, and go to end of Driveway.

WHY:
Well, to see your Shilohs turn on, work and hone their instincts. Folks may come out and check out a lesson first to decide if they would like to try their hand at herding. Secondly, who ever needs an excuse to get together with other Shiloh Shepherd owners! But all dog breeds are welcome — just contact Marti Nottingham to reserve your spot.
Hoping to have a herding trial in the fall to show off everything we've all learned!
HOW MUCH:
Our group rate is $25 for a 20 minute lesson.
This is a great opportunity to take lessons in a laid back, fun environment all the while enjoying the camaraderie of other Shiloh owners.
