Here at Loud Dog Farm we base all our training on working dogs and dogs with really high prey drive. We believe in developing skills as handlers and connecting with our canine partners. Our dogs are all active working dogs, enjoying protecting livestock and preventing pests and predators from burdening the farm. Our head dog trainer is Mey, who has been training dogs since 2007! She has competed in agility, rally/obedience, and conformation. She has earned many ribbons and titles over her time in the ring and gotten the amazing opportunity to work with some really COOL dogs and canine experts. She has been not only certified in Pet first aid and CPR but also instructed the course. Passionate about bridging the gap between the old ways of the dog world and the modern worlds needs she has developed classes to challenge both handler AND dog.
Dog training classes are all customized to what your looking to do in each category. Are you worried about earning titles? or just having a few less rats and foxes around the barn?? Lets set some goals for you and your dogs and work towards them together!
