What Your Experience Includes
Go back to basics and work with nature on this farm-based sheep herding experience. Experience the bond between man and dog as you discover the special skills developed by shepherds. This breed of dog has the ability to communicate to its human partner in a unique way. The collies are also a lot of fun to be around. You will work in partnership with the dog in harmony and discover what is possible when you do! The skill takes time to learn but you will become more confident in the basics of this language so you’ll be able to talk to your border collie partner and also listen to what it is saying to you. You’ll also learn about the sheep and your part in the game.

Arrive at 10.30am. A couple of hours are spent working with the dogs, probably as part of a group. After an hour’s break for lunch you will spend two more hours working with the dogs and sheep.
