Workngsd

Workngsd is a dog training facility in Barberton, Ohio, run from a five-acre farm in Coventry Township in Northeast Ohio near Akron. The business specializes in herding training for all breeds of herding dogs, with lessons taught by Tonya Haney, a dog handler with experience breeding, training, and showing German Shepherds. In addition to herding work, the farm offers barn hunt practice sessions, carting training, dock diving in an on-site pool, and tracking, along with therapeutic swimming in the in-ground pool.

The Barberton property includes a range of training facilities designed for working dogs. Tonya Haney is the owner of Workngsd Farm and personally handles the herding instruction, including work with breeds such as Australian Shepherds. Herding training and barn hunt practice sessions can be scheduled by phone or text, and barn hunt practice is available most of the year when the practice course is set up. Beyond herding and barn hunt, the farm runs dock diving in its 20 by 40 in-ground swimming pool and at the dock at nearby Portage Lakes State Park, offers carting training sized to each dog, and provides tracking sessions built on a dog's natural scent-following behavior. Carting runs from March through October, dock diving from June through October, and barn hunt practice from January through December. Barn hunt practice sessions are priced at ten dollars each.

The farm sits on Lockwood Road, about four tenths of a mile from Anna Dean Park, roughly eight tenths of a mile from Lockwood Park, and around one and one tenth miles from Akron Children's Hospital Pediatrics - Barberton. Workngsd holds a rating of 3.70 based on available reviews.
