The Instinctive Australian Shepherd


Celebrating the working origins of the Australian Shepherd

Apr 3, 2020

This episode is packed with stuff for you and your dog. I have the pleasure of interviewing Billie Richardson, who with her dog Dan, won the 2018 Calgary Stampede Stockdog Trial, making them the first Aussie team in history to be crowned the winners at the Stampede! Check out the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npi79Z6CoLQ

Billie shares her lovely heart with us and reveals a passion she has for improving the mindset of handlers and trainers everywhere. I met Billie at a stockdog clinic she presented and fell in love with her attitude and "Never Say Die" spirit.  

We talk everything from trialing to dealing with pressure! It's all about dogs' minds and human minds!
