U.S. Herding Trainers
Willow Acres Dog Training Homepage

This is a list of herding instructors and/or herding judges, sorted by state.

Please note that I do not know many of these trainers personally.  
Some are judges and do not offer training, but will be familiar with trainers in their area.

I suggest you ask the following questions of anyone you are considering working with -
How long has he/she been training.
What type of stock does he/she use.
Has he/she worked with upright breeds or Border Collies.
Has he/she worked with your particular breed.
Does he/she trial? In which organization?
How do his/her students do in trials and what breeds do they have?

Also, watch a training session or class before you bring your dog, and be sure to talk to their students.
