Dream of herding with your dog – and not sure where to start?
The herding world can feel like a secret society, with its own language, rituals, and handshake.

Hi! I'm Lisa
My goal has always been simple:
To make herding training more accessible for beginners. Whether you're dreaming of trial fields, having sheep of your own, or just exploring a new passion with your dog, I'm here to help!
I’m a (mostly) retired professional dog trainer of over 30 years, who’s spent decades helping handlers and dogs reach their full potential.
My dogs and I compete internationally and have numerous wins and placements including the Canadian Championship, Calgary Stampede, and Meeker Stock Dog Trial.
I'm a former president of the Canadian Border Collie Association. Before focusing on herding, I was heavily involved in the pet and sport dog training world, and was Vice President of the Association Of Professional Dog Trainers.
I know how frustrating it can be to have a herding dog, want to herd with it, and not know where to start. That’s why I created iHerd: not just to teach techniques, but to guide you through the process of building a real working partnership with your dog — let's channel those instincts!
