Michael was delightful as were his dogs! He was informative and funny and we really loved learning about just what goes into training these amazing work dogs and more insights... read more into sheep farming! Would totally recommend! He also gave us some tips on hiking around the area, etc…a super nice guy.

Michael was wonderful, educational, and an all around good time for our visit. And here I'm posting months later because I had picked up a pair of wool socks.... read more And now (Jan 2024) it's blizzarding in my home state of Iowa and these have been the warmest, best socks. Today's high was -2 °F and 40 mph wind gusts. But in my boots, those socks kept me warm and comfortable.

Called in advance, Michael is awesome.

Ganz coole Vorführung der Schäferhunde. Nachher durfte man die kleinen Schäfchen knuddeln.....

Our "host" was fantastic, explaining everything in detail and provided and excellent demo.

Really nice and excited experience of sheep dog demonstration ??‍

We had an amazing time at the Irish Working Sheepdog demonstration this week! Michael was funny, informative and answered any questions we had. After describing what and how... read more the dogs are trained to do, we were able to watch Maggie bring in the sheep. Then, a younger dog was put through her paces with the sheep as well.

Very interesting and makes you want to support all local farmers. You feel the heart and soul that goes into the sheepdog training- but also the sheep industry importance. Well... read more worth the visit.

We really enjoyed hearing about the sheep and the working sheep dogs.

Great experience. Michael Crowe, a renowned sheepdog handler offers a memorable experience of seeing working border collies in action. The beautiful views and vibrant scenery of Kildare and Wicklow create... read more the perfect backdrop and a genuine atmosphere where you will be engrossed in the Irish countryside. You will get the chance to see the Wicklow cheviot sheep being managed by expertly trained sheepdogs. Allow yourself a snapshot of a real Irish experience. The only problem in my opinion, the exhibition is really short in time but very interesting!

Very good explanation and makes you laugh.

Such a great visit and Michael truly made the experience! His knowledge of the history of the dogs as well as the wool market in Ireland was incredibly educational. I... read more would say this is a must visit because you also get to take in some exceptional scenery along the way.

Michael is the real deal! Fantastic experience! Highly recommend!

Awesome demonstration with a friendly, informative host and some very clever dogs showing off their skills and training

Michael and his dogs are amazing! We called at the last minute to book a demonstration and he asked our location which was nearby and he told us to... read more come on over. He is very knowledgeable and understands his dogs and how to work with them. He recognizes a good dog that will not back down from the sheep.

This was the best experience! Our family had the best time. We felt like we were a part of Michael's family. He was so warm, welcoming and so funny! The... read more demonstration and explanation of how dogs are trained was amazing! But after the demo he spent a lot of time just chatting with us. He even made a call to a friend of his to find a place we could listen to a live session. Michael went so far beyond what we were expecting. Do not miss this experience! Thank you, Michael! PS...We found a restaurant with delicious lamb last night!

One of my favourite places to bring guests. Highly recommend visiting. Great for adults and children.

It was a privilege to see Michael and his dogs working together; something to aspire to 💯.

It was awesome! Our guide was great

This is a great spot/experience and well worth a visit

Very nice and interesting!

Terrific Experience. Learned a lot about Sheep and how the dogs keep the sheep in line.

Very fun experience learning about the how the Border Collies are trained and used. The gentleman gave us a great entertaining history of the farms , sheep , wool,... read more etc. I also got to hold and feed a baby goat! Highly recommend!

A wonderful experience.We went from dublin and we have learned a lot about sheeps, sheepdogs and sheep keeping.Thank you, Michael, for your interesting and funny explanations!Michael was a joy... read more to learn from and to just chat with. Even got to feed a baby lamb. Can't recommend highly enough. Michael not only informed everything about sheep but also guided us to many places for a visit in wicklow and kildare.

Fantastic experience. Host was very friendly and provided an excellent presentation. He allowed audience participation and even allowed us to feed a baby lamb. The drive to the location was... read more breathtaking. Highly recommend this experience.

If there is one thing I can ABSOLUTELY recommend to do while in Ireland, it is to watch these working dogs! Michael was so hospitable and welcoming, considerate and overall... read more very entertaining the entire time we were there. From the moment he noticed we had small children, he switched dogs (just out of precautions, he knows his animals) he informed us of his background, gave us a wonderful lesson on the history of working dogs, taught us so much about sheep, the every day life of a sheep farmer, taught us plenty of basic tactics his dogs learned, and the demonstration was fantastic. He let us interact with fresh lambs he had on the farm, with his pups, if I could’ve taken one home I would have! Please give Michael a call, it’s an amazing opportunity to learn about an important aspect of the Irish community, and we will absolutely visit him again when we get the chance!
