Kennel Help Position - Texarkana, TX

I train herding breed dogs to herd sheep goats and cattle.

This is not a regular, daily job, this is covering cleaning and managing a boarding/working dog kennel while the owner is out of town. Familiarity with high drive dogs, livestock, and animal husbandry preferred, but will teach the right person.

There are opportunities for additional, more regular work, but is most likely a supplemental job for most people.

Requirements:

Timeliness, attention to detail, willingness to clean, work is mostly outdoors with some indoor duties. Able to lift 50 lbs. Able to handle medium to large dogs. Some occasional livestock care, mostly feeding. This is a rain or shine, hot or cold job.

Travel schedule is known weeks in advance so plenty of advance notice for you to plan around weekends/days you'll be responsible. 2x per day visits to feed, let dogs outside, clean kennels, check water and any duties associated with caring for animals. Pay is $50/trip, normally $100 per day, typical time is 2 hrs am and 2 hrs pm, but may be more or less depending on work load. Need someone who is reliable and will show up twice a day to care for boarding dogs.

There are opportunities for you to earn additional money. Additional time is $15/hr and includes cleaning, scooping yards, washing buckets/bowls, bathing dogs, various small projects. Would pay for someone to roadwork dogs or provide additional exercise or training if applicant desires to learn these duties. If you're handy, we can find some projects for you as well.

PM me for more details or to discuss.

This opportunity doesn't come around often. Pickle was bred by our friends at Stellar Farms & Stockdogs. I put 3 months of training on her as a yearling, and am willing to work with her new owners if they need some help or additional training, although Sarah Williams is her breeder and can also work with you if necessary.

If you were looking for a well started, capable stock dog, jump on it. 😉

We've got major fencing projects going on, so our stock is essentially dry lotted and fed hay during that process.

Taking them out to graze now isn't just a training scenario, but something necessary.

Fergus - Outline's Cream of Wut (Mick x Fizz) getting the honor of grazing the sheep and goats. Yesterday we did a quick pass of the front yards and roadside.

Music added for entertainment factor, but all sounds left in so you can hear the commands and communication.

Outline's Get Tossed- Toss (Rye x Fizz)

He's off at Stellar Farms & Stockdogs visiting for stud duties. What I love about this dog is how he adjusts and takes it all in stride, and he's all about the work. This is Sarah using him to move ewes and lambs for treatment.

Can't wait for him to be home, but he's in wonderful hands and I'm so proud to see him just pick up wherever he is and show off his talents.

Outline's Crowder (Mick x Reese) is back with me. I put a few months of training on him when he was a year old and he's 4 now.

He's still very much the dog he was at a year old, but more mature, maybe even smarter.

This is my first time to use him on cattle since he's been back with me, he's still on a diet. I'm hoping to get him tuned up over the summer and make him available to a working home.

Keep it interesting, change it up.

There's no limit to what you can do with dogs and stock. You're only limited by your imagination.

Geordie again, from our Rash x Wink litter.

At 8 months Geordie is really taking to training well and I have been careful to expose him within his mental and physical capabilities. He's been eager to learn, but I don't want him pushed beyond what he's ready to do. On cattle I have kept it pretty simple, using commands he knows and letting him get a feel for moving cattle without putting total responsibility on him.

Today he saw the opportunity and felt his genetics behind him. Geordie comes from many generations of cattle dogs who not only push stock, but they can gather and fetch stock efficiently. Showing me he felt confident enough to work the other side of stock while I lead turned our driving cattle back to pasture into fetching cattle back to pasture.

What a great weekend! I can't thank Jacqueline Tinker enough for coming out and instructing a clinic!

Each team made so much progress and got great tips and discussion. Thank you again, Jacque it was such a pleasure.

I'll post more pics of each team and some candids on my personal page.

Not my normal style of post.

The stock work and capabilities of the Australian Cattle Dog are what get showcased on my page quite a bit, and it's obviously our main focus.

Training a dog includes the whole realm of understanding dogs though. And to say that basic communication and building the mental part of a dog has nothing to do with stock work is just not true. Not all of it is done on stock, and even dogs who will have access to stock regularly may need or crave other outlets, and some people enjoy their dogs as more than a tool.

Geordie is 8 months old. He's getting a lot of stimulation during his training, but he is still young and goofy and he needs to be able to be silly, but he can't be silly on livestock.

I also see or find a ton of people who will mindlessly throw a ball or give the dog access to toys where the dog is stimulated, but not in the correct ways. This can lead to obsessive behaviors and dogs who don't know how to regulate themselves emotionally.

If I could give everyone a gift, or free advice, it would be to get in the moment with your dog, become an active observer. They can show you what they need, and you can show them that you understand and can give them what they need.

When you think your dog needs to burn off energy, try something like this.
