Bethany Harris BA - University of Waterloo
CPPDT - Certified Professional Dog Trainer

Beth and her border collies are a familiar scene on the farm. During University she brought home her first collie mix, Abbey, and for the past 15 years she has been furthering her knowledge through books, online tuition and in-person sheepherding clinics.

 

Her training methods developed from her BA Degree focus in Clinical & Behavioural Psychology and Social Development, which compliments her Professional Dog Training Certification (GDA), and utilizes research-based, positive training methods. Her sheepherding knowledge is a combination of hands-on farm work spanning nearly two decades, and instruction with trainers from both the UK (Emma Gray, Andy Nickless, Nij Vyas) & Canada (Jen L'Arrivee, Billie Richardson). She has completed Level 4 Agility (with Kim Boyes) and Scent Detection with one of Canada's leading experts, Jamie Knowles.

​

All of Beth's herding dogs have CKC Titles. Beth is also an active member of the CBCA, ISDS, CKC & AHBA and has additional certification in PetSafe First Aid, and Canine Massage and Physiotherapy.
