Practice Sheep - Large Ewes
5-7 Large Ewes in Field
Service Description
This is designed for dogs who already have the basics of herding and just need more miles and a place to practice. Useful aids will be available to borrow while you practice - a long line, several flags, and obstacles like barrels. This session does not have an instructor present, but if you require assistance please text (we are always around). *Please bring your own water/bowl for your pet and refrain from jumping in the livestock troughs. Be respectful of the environment and clean up after your Dog(s). Close all gates, and be mindful of the horses. If you or your dog cause damage to the stock (even a small injury), let us know so that it can be monitored and rested, if it is significant enough to warrant veterinary care you will be responsible for the cost (up to the animal's market value). Herding inherently puts you and your dog at risk of injury/death - you are solely responsible for your own actions (make good choices and be safe!). *these sheep are not suitable for dogs early in their training* if you aren't sure if your dog is at the right level, please reach out for an assessment.
Cancellation Policy
The safety of all people, pets, and livestock are of utmost importance to us. However, to take part in any activities held on our farm we require a release of liability and agreement to follow the conditions. By booking with us, you are agreeing to these terms: I will keep my dog(s) under direct control at all times (eg. on a leash). I declare that I am the legal owner of the dog attending and that my dog is in good health, (being current on distemper, parvo and parainfluenza immunizations/ or with titer test). I am participating in this activity at my own risk and have disclosed any physical or mental health concerns that may influence mine/my dog's participation. I understand that sessions are held outdoors, and that this exposes me and my dog to natural elements (I am responsible for dressing/preparing accordingly). I understand that participating in Herding can be unpredictable, and exposes dogs and people to injury for which the participant is solely responsible for. Woolly Meadows/Bethany Harris (including our volunteers and property) is released from any and all liability if I or my dog(s) suffer personal injury, and/or my property suffers physical damage. I will take no legal action against any of the above persons or establishments upon injury to myself, a family member, my dog, or damage to my property. I am solely responsible for any personal injury and/or property damage incurred by others, and caused by me or my dog, including injury or death to livestock. The replacement cost of any livestock used will be: Sheep $800.00 ea. Goats $300 ea Geese $70 Ducks $40 ea and I will pay up to that amount for veterinary care if damage is caused by my dog to livestock. I will promptly reimburse any party that sustains personal injury and/or property damage caused by me or my dog. In addition, I will indemnify and hold harmless Woolly Meadows/Bethany Harris (including volunteers) from any cause of action brought by others against them caused by the actions of me or my dog. If you've changed your mind or are dissatisfied, we offer a straightforward cancellation policy that deducts a percentage based on what you've received. We get it, sometimes life happens - please let us know by text or email as soon as you can if you can't make it to class, as one rescheduled class is permitted. For practice sheep, rescheduling is permitted for extreme weather (above 28'C, below -15'C, strong wind/ heavy precipitation), again, please let us know as soon as possible.
