📣 Jacque Tinker is coming to Central Texas!

The Texas Herding Association is excited to host a Jacque Tinker Herding Clinic on September 26-27, 2026, in Cameron, Texas!

🐑 This is a working clinic, not an instinct test. Whether you have a beginner just getting started or an advanced dog that needs to fine-tune its foundation skills, We'll be working in a variety of pen sizes, focusing on developing solid fundamentals. Please note that this clinic will not include large field work.

Working spots are limited to just 8 dogs, so reserve your spot early! Auditor spots are also available.

For registration information, visit www.texasherdingassoc.org or email [email protected].

We'd love to see you there!
