*Note: Catch On Camp Is Available Only as a Linked, Add-On Camp Prior to a Full Week of Herding Boot Camp or Tending Camp

Catch ON! Who should attend? Catch ON! Camp is designed for herding handlers who live long distances away or who are unfamiliar with the concepts of positive reinforcement as applied to herding training. (I have tried many things while herding for over 20 years using positive reinforcement.) Catch ON! Camp is also useful for those who want herding practice with their dogs for two, solid weeks-- catch on and catch up!

If you sign up for two consecutive weeks of camp (Catch On plus Herding/Tending Camp) you will receive a 50% discount on the second camp. Please contact Carolyn about the discount.

Catch ON! When?—includes Monday- Friday, a week before regular Herding Boot Camp or Tending Camp sessions (check the schedule) and the regular Herding Boot Camp or Tending Camp session; plus you can choose to participate in up to 2 weekends of activities before and after Catch ON! Camp at no additional charge. (Or you can go sight-seeing!)

Note: After you sign up for Catch ON! Camp plus Herding or Tending Camp, you e-mail me (Carolyn) with your training plans for the weekends before & after Catch ON! Camp.

To summarize, Catch ON! Camp includes:

1. (bonus, optional) The weekend before M-F Catch ON! Camp—we invite you to get an early start and join us at no additional charge in our other activities scheduled here at Raspberry Ridge or to train on your own. Or go sight-seeing.
2. Monday-Friday Catch ON! Camp, where you have an opportunity to learn positive reinforcement herding with your dog.
3. (bonus, optional) The weekend between Catch ON! and regular Herding Boot or Tending Camp. You can join in at no additional charge with our other Raspberry Ridge activities or train on your own here at the farm. Or go sight-seeing.
4. Monday-Friday’s regular Herding Boot Camp or Tending Camp session.
