Action K9 Sports began in 1985 as the San Pasqual Herding Facility. It was established by Terry Parrish as a place for ANY herding dog, regardless of breed, to come out and enjoy the herding life. Terry Parrish is the owner and operator of Action K9 Sports, owns 150 head of sheep for training and sheep herding trial purposes. Action K9 Sports sits on 6 acres of land across the road from the San Diego Safari Park in Escondido, California. Ten minutes off of the 15 Freeway. Action K9 Sports offers herding lessons to people who are completely new to the sport and to people who have been herding for years.

Start Herding
Report
So many of the very active, highly intelligent dogs out there come from HERDING breeds and need to be able to USE that talent to be happy and healthy. Our instinct tests are designed to allow your dog to indulge in that talent and provides opportunity for YOU to join in! The dog, owner and a qualified tester go into a small pen with tame sheep and the dog is encouraged to begin moving them.
Lessons
Report
The trainers at Action K9 Sports will train YOU to work your own dog. You will be taught how to use appropriate cues and your body to encourage your dog to work sheep properly. Sheep behavior is explained to provide a better understanding of WHY you and your dog have to work a particular way. Instruction is tailored to the breed of the dog, as loose-eyed dogs work differently than strong-eyed dogs.
USBCHA Trials
Report
Action K9 Sports offers ten to twelve competitive herding trials yearly. Our facility is licensed to host AKC, AHBA & USBCHA events. Trialing is FUN and offers dog/handler teams an opportunity to showcase all the progress from their training.
