Nationally recognised award-winning cattle dog handler, Steven Elliott, will return to the region once again to host a comprehensive Working Dog School at the Ayr Showgrounds next month.
Hailing from Winton, 177 kilometers northwest of Longreach, Steven was left paralysed from the chest down after falling from a saddle bronc on New Year's Eve in 2003. However, despite a dislocated C6 and C7 vertebrae, Steven transformed his love for training and riding horses into an accomplished career training working cattle dogs. Steven’s work has been celebrated at multiple competitions over the years, and his talents have been broadcast across the country in 2024’s season of Muster Dogs Australia.
Steven now regularly travels the nation, running educational schools to share his wealth of dog training knowledge and methods with others, a passion he has been honing over the past 13 years. His love for the industry continues to grow, and Steven finds great fulfillment in seeing young dogs reach their full potential through each of his workshops.
“When you get a little pup who has so much desire for the herding instinct, watching them learn the skills is the most rewarding part of the trade,” shared Steven.
Having revisited the region after five years to make his Burdekin Show debut in June of 2024, Steven will journey back to Ayr once again to run lessons suitable for those of both beginner and experienced ability levels on the 21st and the 22nd of June.
Enrollment fees to the class are $550 each which includes lunches, smoko and an invitation to a wonderful BBQ on Saturday evening and all reservations can be made by phoning Richard on 0439 826 886.
