Chuckanut Kelpies and Aussies

I've been bringing my dogs to Jan for nearly 30 years, many generations of border collies and aussies. Jan understands dogs and livestock. She will help you make any dog a better team player, whether you are bound for trialing or just helping you bring the best out of your dog. There is a lot to learn about dogs, stock and how to help your dog learn stock skills. Stick with it. Read books, attend a clinic and stay with it. The results are worth it

I have trained with Jan for herding for 7 years. Thanks to her my dog has gotten multiple High In Trials in sheep, cattle and ducks and has two Herding Championships. I have also trained with her with my young dog too and have also had great success as well. Jan does so much for supporting both AKC and ASCA performance sports. I always appreciate all the support she has done for the Tracking community especially.

I appreciate Jan's no-nonsense approach to dog training, and so does my dog! Jan challenges me to think about my actions as a handler, so I am being clear in what I ask of my dog - clear is kind. She particularly understands the needs of high energy, intelligent herding breeds and helps people meet those needs for the dog's benefit. She's always thinking about the safety of people and long-term welfare of dogs. Simply put, Jan is a pro. Come to her with an open mind, and she will help you enrich your partnership with your dog.

With years of experience as a judge, competitor, and breeder Jan can help with dogs and handler‘s of all levels. It’s been so fun to tap into the instincts of the Australian Shepherd breed - I’ve been able to learn obedience, agility, herding and tracking with multiple dogs over the years. Her clinics are great to get an overview of the Stockdog world if you’re a beginner or work on specific issues if you’re at a higher level. I don’t know of a better person to go to- I’ve met so many great people dedicated to working with their dogs through Jan.
