Meet Your Instructor

Hi, I’m Elizabeth.

I’m the owner of Mockingbird Border Collies, where I’m passionate about preserving the Border Collie through responsible breeding, competitive dog sports, and lifelong learning.

Whether I’m in the obedience ring, showing in conformation, working livestock, or mentoring new competitors, my goals is always the same:

To help people build stronger partnerships with their dogs.

I created Mockingbird Academy to share the knowledge, successes, and lessons I’ve gained along the way; so you can enjoy the journey with your own dog.
