About the Meadow Ranch dog training

The Meadow Ranch describes itself in its own words as "a family operated dog training center and ranch in Marshall, NC", at 5910 Walnut Creek Road, and places itself "just 30 minutes from downtown Asheville".

What is taught here

The published offer is herding, agility and obedience for adult dogs, and puppy training classes for young dogs. The site also names sports it intends to add – dock dog, disc dog, flyball and herding events – as classes and events to come, which is a plan rather than a current product.

The facility

This is a working ranch rather than a storefront. The site publishes photographs and details of its own agility equipment, including an AKC regulation single bar jump and a competition tunnel, and describes the arena the classes run in. Alongside the training operation the ranch keeps ABCA border collies bred for herding and as sport dogs, plus livestock guardian dogs and other working dogs.

Who teaches

The about page says the trainer has more than eighteen years of experience, has spent "countless hours dedicated to developing my dog training technique", and has competed at high levels in both agility and obedience – experience the page frames as helping teams connect and excel in their chosen path.
