I am so excited to be able to do this clinic with the amazing Eunice Williams!!
I apologize for not getting this out sooner but this will be an incredible opportunity to have Eunice on site to offer her insights and to share the many stories she can tell about working stock and dogs with Bud. For my part, I will be focusing on the stockmanship component as it relates to working dogs. Eunice is the dog expert! We are looking forward to the many conversations that will happen at this clinic and for all of us to better understand our livestock and our dogs.
As Bud once told me … ”Things will get a lot easier for you when you realize that the dog is not here to help you…you are here to help the dog!"
