The Working Dog Podcast

By: Alison Erskine
  • Summary

  • The working dog podcast covers everything about dogs with jobs.

    I have noticed a gap between the experts and everyone else trying to learn. I’m attempting to bridge that gap while interviewing the men and women who use their dogs daily and the ones who strictly trial.

    We focus on international sheep and cow dog handlers and pick their brains about working dog tips and tricks.

    We also talk to the handlers behind the great variety of hunting and service dogs.

    We were honoured to interview one of the most decorated trialists in North America. Scott Glenn has been a force in the industry for over 25 years. Since his start, he and his dogs have earned more than a dozen competitive titles, including six-time USBCHA National Champion, four-time Canadian Champion, Meeker Champion, Bluegrass Champion, Soldier Hollow gold and silver medalist, and a multi-year World Trial Competitor.

    Recently, he competed in Ireland at the 2023 World Sheep Dog Trials with his dog, Pip, against 240 dogs from around the world placing third in the finals. Scott is a class act, a wealth of knowledge and a pleasure to visit. Enjoy taking in the perspective of such an elite dogman.

    Kier Scott of Herding East Stock Dogs outside of Airdrie, Alberta has paved himself a path in the stock dog industry.

    Growing up around working dogs he didn’t get the itch until he found a dog named Sweep from his father.

    It didn’t take them long and they were winning trails and Kier was full steam ahead.

    Kier and his wife Samantha now host weekly dog nights, clinics, dog sales and a winter series dog trial at Thorlakson arena.

    You can follow Herding East on Facebook or look at their website where you’ll see the, Diamond T Cowhorses sponsored, weekly blogs on stockdog training and philosophies.

    We truly appreciate Kier and Samantha, they have been huge supporters of our podcast and this episode was a true pleasure to produce.

    F10 Ultra Saddle pads

    Like most people, I've been on the hunt for a high quality saddle pad that is going to fit all types of horses as well as look good and perform under all conditions.

    When I was fortunate enough to win cowboy of the day award at a ranch rodeo this fall I was awarded an F10 ultra pad.

    I was ecstatic because I was in desperate need of a new pad but it wasn't until after I talked to Dillon at F10 Ultra that I realized what I got my hands on.

    They use nothing but the best, sourcing their wool from %100 merino sheep here in Alberta.

    F10 rated wool has the highest compression rating and tensile strength rating on the market. This makes it an easy choice for you and your equine partner. I have been on a long journey to find a pad of this quality and happy to say I stand behind F10 Ultra fine saddle pads.

    Sarah Martin is no stranger to dog trialing but we were all the more excited to sit down with her this week after she took home the buckle for the Canadian Cow Dog Futurity.

    We covered everything from how she got into stockdogs, her influence on the Australian Shepherd breed and the impact she has had on the students that have gone through her stockdog class for the past 15 years.
