SummerNy Ranch in AZ has Sold

Picture


​After much discussion and thought, John and Cathy have sold SummerNy AZ.  We are very thankful for all the memories there and for all of the people who helped us along the way to make it a success.  As we get older, it is harder and harder to manage multiple sites and with better weather in CO, it was the better choice.

Cathy is looking at options for working in the winter in AZ and will keep this site updated.

Thanks to everyone who helped with SummerNy and we look forward to seeing you in Colorado.

We don’t teach dogs how to herd.  They already know how!  Instead,  we teach them the rules of the hunt.

That is the premise of this easy to follow book which takes you through the step by step process of facilitating the training of a herding dog.  Trainer Dawna Sims, well known in the herding world as a top trainer and handler, shares her knowledge 
and expertise and explains a phased approach to herding training that works with every breed.  From introducing your dog to stock to teaching 
commands to handling common issues, this must read book will help you 
understand the dynamics of herding and become a better partner for your 
dog.  Teaching the Rules of the Hunt includes:
 · Terminology of herding
 · How to introduce your dog to stock
 · How to effectively communicate with your dog
 · Phased approach to herding training
 · What to work on in each phase of training
 · Practice exercises you can use off of stock
 · Common issues and what you can do to correct them
 · Plus much more!
