About Cut'n Loose Canine Training Resort

Based on what the business publishes about itself

Jamie Burns brings an unusual depth of background to stock dog training. According to her site, she grew up on a family cattle and horse operation where her father worked as a veterinarian, later studied Animal Health Technology at Sul Ross State, and worked in small animal surgery at Texas A&M. She has worked with Australian Shepherds since 1978 and continues to train and trial stock dogs on weekends.

Cut'n Loose Canine Training Resort, located in Whitesboro, Texas, operates primarily as a breeding and training operation for working-line Australian Shepherds. The site notes recognition as ASCA Hall of Fame Kennel number 151. Training focuses on cattle work, covering skills like down, fetch, drive, holding gates, holding off feeders, and loading stock into vehicles, alongside general manners such as leash walking and recall. Burns describes offering custom training to develop specific traits like heeling (biting at a rear leg to move stock) based on each dog's genetic tendencies.

The program accepts a limited number of dogs for board-and-train each month, according to the site. Group and private lessons are also available for owners learning to train their own stock dogs. Burns advises prospective buyers to see dogs actually work stock and research pedigrees rather than relying on claims of instinct alone, noting that some dogs from certain breeding crosses may be too strong-willed for first-time handlers.
