"I will keep going to any herding clinics that Lynn Leach is the dog trainer at. Lynn remembered who I was when I walked into the arena. Actually she remembered my dog the most. That impressed me the most. I figured with all the people she works with daily etc. Either I stood out in the crowd, or she really enjoys what she does as a Judge/Clinician/Dog Trainer. That impressed me a lot." -Barb Freer

A testimonial from an attenee of an Australian Herding Clinic:
"Lynn even inspired me to keep going training my dog and I know
others from the Qld group were equally surprised with what they
could and did achieve when Lynn was training here in Qld."
- Karen Manton, Queensland Australia.

Judging Seminars
Lynn has also been invited to speak at several judging seminars throughout Canada. One of her favorite seminars was designed to help organize all breed herding demonstrations at the American Kennel Club Herding Judge's Institute in Raleigh, North Carolina. "It was great to provide conformation judges with an opportunity to see the dogs work. Feedback was so excellent; we are repeating a similar format here in Canada in February 2007" (Lynn Leach, herding dog trainer).
