GREAT RIVER STOCKDOG CLUB
Proudly Presents
MARC CHRISTOPHER HERDING CLINIC
June 18th & 19th, 2005
with Private Lessons on June 20th, 2005
At Myron Lindgren farm in Scandia, MN
Is there something better than the traditional methods of training stock dogs? Tired of watching enthusiastic young dogs racing sheep
toward you out of control? Had enough of yelling, running at your dog and throwing things at him? Well, then you will enjoy and
appreciate the training methods of Marc Christopher. Quiet, gentle maneuvers that make doing the wrong thing difficult and the right
thing easy - highlight Marc's very intuitive way of schooling dogs. The dogs learn to handle livestock and then commands are put to
correct actions.
Marc Christopher is a USBCHA Trial Judge, clinician, and trainer of all breed stock dogs since 1977. Marc understands the natural
behavior and silent universal language between predator and prey. This is the foundation of the training method he teaches.
Marc will be in control of time and the amount of working time that each dog is allowed. With the use of a remote microphone and a
P.A. system, spectator participation as well as handler participation is encouraged. Videotaping is allowed only of your own dog
working with Marc’s permission. A waiver, provided the day of the seminar, must be signed by all in attendance.
Cost: Working participants: one day: $70/dog both days: $130/dog – Coffee, rolls, and lunch included
Private lessons: $40 for 30 minutes
