Sharon Allswede, Wisconsin

Sharon Allswede began training dogs in obedience and agility in 1994. The purchase of her first border collie for agility made her investigate working with them using their natural instinct for herding. Fast forward a few years and Sharon purchased a mini-farm in Grand Rapids, MI which provided enough property to house a small flock of sheep (Dorsets and Border Cheviots) and train what became multiple border collies.

Sharon moved to Walworth Wisconsin in November of 2017 and retired from her 33-year career as a chemical engineer at the end of June 2018. She’s enjoying working with her sheep and dogs full-time.

You can connect with Sharon on Facebook.

Tidbit of Wisdom from Sharon’s Experiences:

“I wish I had done a better job of enjoying the journey because like anything done well, sheepdog training takes time! Be patient with yourself and your dog!”
