Herding Clinic with Jan Wesen

Jan has been working with Australian Kelpies for 15 years and Australian Shepherds for 5 years. She has competed in Australian Shepherd Club of America, Working Kelpie Inc., American Kennel Club, American Herding Breed Assn. and Border Collie trials. She is an American Kennel Club Herding Judge, American Herding Breed Assn. Judge,Canadian Kennel Club Herding Judge, Australian Shepherd Club of America Obedience and Tracking judge. She has competed in Herding (WTCH,HX), Tracking (TDX), Obedience (UDX), Flyball (FDX), Frisbee and just enjoys having fun with her dogs.
She and her husband work their dogs on their 350 cow, dairy farm doing a variety of chores: bringing cows in for milking, holding gates, sorting, and letting them know when livestock are trying to escape. "My background on the farm and trialing has increased my awareness of the importance of having a well-trained dog. The more advanced the dog's training, the better you do in trials and the more work you can do on the farm. Each day I am learning to improve my technique and my dogs," says Wesen.
Jan has had the great opportunity of working closely with "BOB VEST" and credits him with her being able to make it all possible.

Priority will be given to those previously attending this clinic. A waiting list will be available.

Bringing with him a vast amount of knowledge from his experiences in life, to judging trials as well as training dogs, his step by step methodology has been very successful. This has allowed the dogs' training to reach the goals necessary for herding. He has a knack for taking a person to the space he needs to be when working the dog presented to him.

He currently resides in Iowa, and judges ASCA and AKC herding trials. Bob owns Australian Shepherds and Australian Kelpies.
