Kaye Harris of Berthoud, CO is coming to Deb St. Jacques' farm in Argyle, NY
to present a dog clinic working sheep on June 2, l999.  She will then be
going to Chris Davenport's farm in Wallingford, VT on June 3, l999 to work
cattle and sheep.  Kaye is an ASCA stockdog judge as well as a breeder,
trainer and trialler of Australian Shepherds.

Kaye will be demonstrating a technique where the dog learns to respond to
moving off your pressure.  This technique can be used on puppies as young as
l0 weeks so that when you go to stock the dog understands what you are asking
them to do as far as responding to your presence.  Come see another herding
idea.

One day/ one dog     $60.00           Two day/ same dog        $ll0.00

Auditors welcome     $25.00
