Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 5
Have you seen a border collie work a flock of sheep? An Australian shepherd clear a runway of geese? These are jobs employed by members of the herding dog group. Come meet some of the more easily recognized members, as well as some not so familiar faces, of the AKC herding dogs. Students will learn through lecture, discussion, and  viewing pictures. We will discuss modern day herding jobs that these dogs do. Sports that herding dogs excel at will also be explored.  We won't have time to meet all members of the group, but we will spotlight as many as possible. Come and meet the dogs that love to have a job!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Eastern Illinois University
Hello! My name is Amy Rovtar Payne. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Education, and have previously taught in the school system for several years. I live on a farm with lots of animals, where I follow my passion of training feral mustangs. I am a certified horseback riding instructor and enjoy teaching others to ride. When my schedule allows, I judge horse shows. I actively compete and am a title holder in dog sports such as agility, nosework, obedience and rally. I am studying to become an agility judge with the UKI. Currently I also work in a canine rehab center, where I lead hydrotherapy sessions  and am a certified laser technician. Another one of my hobbies is writing, and I am a published author of non-fiction and poetry. I'm excited to share my knowledge with others!
