at Hood's Farm

The Dog & Ewe is now teaching in Ashville, NY, in Chautauqua County, just west of Jamestown, NY at Hood's Farm in Ashville, NY. Hood's Farm is an easy hour from Erie, PA or 90 minutes from Buffalo, NY.
All breeds welcomed to participate in lessons or clinics. Your dog will LOVE you for it. Besides the benefits of physical activity, your dog will gain great mental enrichment working livestock as well. Building a relationship so dog and handler trust each other and have the confidence to do anything is our goal. Jean will work and coach you to achieve your goals - be it a working partner in competition, around the farm moving your animals or wanting to have a great outlet for your dog. Many of Jean's students do not own livestock, yet they understand the desire a herding dog will have to use its instincts! Herding with your dog will provide a great opportunity for the dog to use his instincts! Each lesson breaks down herding into small learning modules that are easy to learn. Then our Group format allows the handler to learn for other teams for better understanding of how to work livestock.
Come change your dog's life!
We teach lessons on good weather days - Wednesday evenings and 11-1 on Saturdays. Other days when I am available. Private lessons also available.
