Training Testimonials
“I began herding with my Belgian Tervuren when she was already 5 years old. Lynn instinct tested her and she received her Herding Intermediate title. Lynn is an excellent instructor. She knows when to get in the arena with you to help you overcome problems and she knows when to let you work it out yourself. People with this much herding knowledge could easily make a beginner like myself feel intimidated. However, Lynn's knowledge of sheep and herding is only exceeded by her tremendous people skills. She immediately makes you feel welcome which fuels your desire to learn and excel.”

“This will be the 4th year in a row where we will be having Lynn Leach down for a week of daily lessons. She has exceeded my expectations....I had people signing up for any extra classes and put on a waiting list in case of a cancellation.”

“Lynn works with many different types of dogs and is well respected in the herding field (no pun intended). She is great. She manages to keep the class involved when working with different dogs, so that everyone learns from each others’ handling. She is a friend and is very helpful to those starting out. I value the individual skill building tasks to hone up on overall performance.”

“Lynn is excellent at “reading” people, dogs and stock and is extremely passionate about the sport. She does her best to ensure the students in her clinics achieve success, which they can continue to build on after she has left. She works to the level of the handler and dog; no one is too new and inexperienced or conversely, too experienced for her to work with.
Lynn Leach is not just a good trainer but is an excellent teacher. She is extremely patient, and she has an awesome sense of humour. She treats everyone fairly and positively –stock, dogs, and handlers.”
- Kim Mordaunt
“Not only is Lynn a great dog trainer, but more importantly she is an excellent teacher, able to effectively communicate with the human side of the team. Lynn always seeks to find the positives in each dog/handler team, and is able to key on that in order to bring each team as close to their potential as genetics and motivation will allow.”
