Our 1st outdoor group dog training class for 2026 was great! I forgot my phone inside, so no pictures. Next Sunday's weather, so far is looking good. Below is info about our group classes On the Farm. Reminder I want to work on what you want & need to work on for your dog. Please give input prior to class what you would like to work on. Below is a picture of a few of the obstacles we will be adding to the end of every class. Obstacle work is great for building confidence & preparing a dog for some of the challenges life will throw at them.

Thank you all for your well wishes on my recent Appalachian Trail section hike. I am back home & ready to start some more outdoor group dog training classes. Late in the day on Sundays works well for my schedule & seemed to work fairly well for others, so that's the plan for now.

These classes will only be held if the weather is nice & only when I announce an upcoming date.

Below is info on these classes.

Blue Heeler/Australian Cattle Dog (same breed, 2 names). My Tray (AKA Pup) & Andy are this breed & I have Theo who is a mix of this breed. They are amazing, smart, loyal dogs, but need very active owners who are willing to dedicate a lot of time to exhaust this energy.

Introducing Dio!
Dio is a handsome blue heeler born in 2019 who would do just about anything for a tasty treat! He’s highly food-motivated, which makes him eager to learn and a lot of fun to work with. True to his breed, Dio is incredibly smart, alert, and full of energy. He loves staying busy and thrives when he has both mental challenges and physical activity built into his day.
Dio would do best in an active home that can keep up with his playful antics and provide him with plenty of exercise, structure, and enrichment. Whether it’s long walks, games, training sessions, or interactive toys, Dio is happiest when he’s engaged and involved with his people.
If you’re looking for a clever, energetic companion who’s always ready for the next adventure (especially if treats are involved!), Dio might be the perfect fit.
