Cow Dog & Obedience Clincs

Marvin Pierce holds cow dog and obedience clinics most months here in Newberg, OR. These are tailored to small groups so every dog gets lots of instruction and attention.

Marvin will cover the fundamentals of starting a dog on cattle to fine-tuning a dog that’s already working cattle. He’ll also help folks overcome common and “not-so-common” obedience issues such as fighting, chasing horses, not coming when called and unruly & ill-mannered behavior.

Marvin’s main objective is that folks leave the clinic with a dog that is better behaved, smarter on cattle and a pleasure to be around. And as always he wants everyone to have FUN! Some specifics that will be covered in the clinic are:

• pen cattle using your dog
• get your dog to “down” when asked
• position you dog so you can get your cattle penned
• have your dog come to you when called
• teach your dog to leave your horses alone
• keep your dog from fighting other dogs
• address issues such as aggression, barking, running off, chasing horses/livestock and more
• keep your dogs attention on YOU, no matter how busy and chaotic the environment
• …as well as covering individual training issues and participant-generated requests

Upcoming Clinics will be posted in a banner on the home page. Details for these clinics can be found by clicking on the link.
