DETAILS You arrive at our front gate area to unload your gear, which we transport to your tent (just like the bellman at a hotel!) Your car is then parked at a nearby parking area where you can have access all week. There is no road going to your tent site so keep in mind that the gear you pack must be transportable by golf cart. And even better news for dog lovers - we have hardly any tick problem in our area - in 3 years, we’ve only seen one on a dog who had been in the trails plus we have no poisonous snakes or bears or predators that could cause harm. And, it’s not very buggy since the winters are cold so hardly any mosquitoes, flies or other creatures to worry about. This country experience only requires you to enjoy what’s here with suntan lotion and a good attitude to have fun! |

| Warren Mick
has been training and running Border Collies for the past 13 years. He currently lives in Altamont with his wife Maria and eleven BCs. His BC experience started in 1989 with a pup bred by his sister. Since that first dog, the world of working sheepdogs has become an all consuming passion. He spends much of his free time training and working his own dogs but also enjoys giving lessons and helping others in training. Warren competes with his BC's at trials around the country and has run in the past 4 National Finals and many regional championships. He has also organized and judged many competitions. Warren will tell you that while he enjoys trialing and judging very much, its the training and working with the dogs that he really loves most. Seeing the dogs do what the were bred for, connecting and communicating with a dog and the bonding that develops is just indescribable. |
| Tom Leigh has been training and trialing with his rescued Border Collies throughout the Northeast and Canada for the past 10 years. He lives on an island off the coast of Maine with his wife Susanna, a bossy cat and four (at the moment) rescued Border Collies. His style with dogs is not overbearing - using a positive training approach, he believes in letting the dog feel its way into its work, and in setting it up to succeed. Last year, with his current rescue dog Jo, he received the NEBCA (Northeast Border Collie Association) Long Road Award. Since the award was established to recognize handlers successful at trials who have trained their own dogs, this held particular meaning - not only because competing dogs at trials are often imported and/or professionally trained, but because Jo came as an untrained pet rescue. As a children's book illustrator, Tom never imagined finding shepherd on his resume, but he's been hooked ever since seeing the transformation of his 1st rescued BC from house pet to herder. There's a tremendous bond that develops during the training process, and along with the excitement of seeing his dogs learn and apply new skills, he values having the privilege of being able to help give them a chance to do the thing for which they're bred. |

Max is a happy agility competitor and has earned his CPE "Specialist Champion" agility title as well as his Rally Advanced title. Her second dog, a high-octane young Shetland Sheepdog named Tommy, has started his agility career as well and has his Level 1 CPE titles and his Rally Novice title.

| Kim Siemens started in dogs over ten years ago working with shelter dogs at the SPCA where she adopted her first dog, an All Canadian mixed breed, named 'Oscar'. Oscar needed an outlet for his endless energy and that is when Kim became hooked on dog sports and learning about dog behavior and training, she hasn't looked back since! Oscar led Kim into several activities including Flyball, Disc Dog (Frisbee), Obedience and Agility. Aside from earning multiple titles in these sports Kim's dogs have also starred in several commercials, print adds, television shows and performance demonstrations across North America and even in the UK! Kim owns and operates "If It Wags...", an home boarding and training business in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. All of Kim's training methods are based on positive reinforcement. he encourages handlers to use their dog's natural drives and instincts as motivators making training much more fun and enjoyable. Kim is currently owned by five Border Collies, three Bearded Collies, a Belgian Malinois and of course Oscar. Kim often opens her heart and home to foster dogs in need of some TLC and behavior modification before they are able to find a forever home of their own....and it is these special dogs that have taught her more than any others. |

Loki has taught Abbie everything an instructor needs to know about patience and persistence. Her current agility dog, a four year old JRT, named Microburst actually comes when called and has taught her how to deal with ENERGY. Although Abbie and Micro compete in NADAC and AKC their main efforts are in USDAA, where they have earned an ADCH. They have also qualified for the Grand Prix (USDAA Nationals) both years that they have competed and for 2001 they were rated in the TOP TEN in Jumpers. Abbie is one of those special teachers who can convince the average student that the rules of USDAA Snooker are quite understandable and FUN! It is not surprising that Abbie’s contributions to Clean Run include an article entitled “Snooker Impaired?”. |
