(Revised 2/5/10)

Nyle Sealine

Stock Dog Training and Judging Workshop

April 10th, 2010 - 8 am

Tingley Community Center, Tingley, IA

Training, trialing and judging have been a part of Nyle's life for many years, judging 3 to 5 trials yearly. He began trialing his own dogs in 1969, within two years he was winning trials nationally.  In 1975 & 1977 he had the AIBC Dog of the Year, in 2001 & 2002 he won the Open Class at the Iowa State Fair and placed 2nd in the Pro Ranch Class at the Minnesota State Fair in 2004.  Nyle was able to retire the "Best Handler" Perpetual Trophy at the Iowa State Fair after being awarded this trophy three times.

 

Join us for a day of discussion about stock dog training and judging beginning in a classroom format followed by evaluating real time runs out in the fields and arena led by Nyle Sealine.  All levels of handlers are welcome; this workshop will cover many aspects of stockdog training and the relationships between handler and dog along with the relationship between dog and livestock.  Regardless of the breed of herding dog or livestock you own, this workshop will give you insight to proper livestock handling methods and how it relates to training practices and judging views in all levels of trial competition.

 

We will begin at 8am and break for a potluck lunch and the Annual Meeting of the ISDA membership, please bring a dish to share.  Immediately following the meeting we will reorganize at Bob’s arena and fields to evaluate some real time runs.

 

Fee to attend workshop:  $40.00, please RSVP Deb Meier if you plan on attending by or before April 1st, 2010.
