I know it is the same weekend as the workshop with Brad at Binnalong NSW but is anyone attending the workshop ran by Bernard Arends near Benalla?
Has anyone been to one of his workshop or know of anyone that has been to one and what they are like?????
Any info would be great

never heard of him LOL! Be interested to know what he's like as Benalla isn't a huge drive for us.

That builds confidence!!!!! LOL.
I will let you all know what it is like and what he is like. As we are only just new to herding it will be interesting to see how he teaches newbies from suburbia.

ROFL sorry, I am only new to the whole 'workshop' thing & trainers etc. so keen to hear about anyone I don't know that is also good.

Bernard I believe is from Nz and has represented the country on several occasions.
He has held several successful workshops in the ACT and Nsw, I think this might be the first time he has come to Vic.
I have only heard good reports about him, so you should get some valuable advice from him.
He’s just a tad too pricy for me, but that’s my opinion.
Have a good time and let us know how you get on.
A fresh out look is always good though doesn’t always need to be strictly followed.

Thanks for the insight!!!!
I have relised that he is a bit on the expensive side!!! ($195.00 per person for the workshop) I guess we jumped the gun a bit (we enrolled and pay our deposits about 2 months ago) but we are very excited about going and will report back about what goes on and will hopefully get heaps of pics to show you all!!!!
Wish us luck, not the dogs that is but the humans. The dogs seem to know what to do, just having a problem teaching their humans!!!!!

Yep know how that feels, we do get better have no fear, some faster than others.
Enjoy your weekend, make them good photos and I'll chuck them in the newsletter, along with the ones from Binalong.
And you have to send me a progress report on how you all did on the day.
We all want to read about it, right around Australia, and America and Tasi and New Zealand.
Did I forget anyone, don't yell at me if I did.

Done, I will try my best I am just a beginner with the camera!!!! I will give you a report, I will be taking heaps of notes!!!!!!!

looking forward to it.
Have fun!
