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.

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.

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 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!

Very good explanation and makes you laugh.

Michael is a wonderful, charming story teller. His adorable dogs are hard workers who love their job. Kids and adults enjoyed.

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

Fantastic experience, impressive to see the intelligence and discipline of a working dog?☘️

Loved the dogs, so cool what they can do.

It was fantastic show. Gives lots of information. Highly recommend going to see

Had the best time watching the dogs, listening to Michael, and seeing the sheep. Becoming best friends with world renowned sheep herder, Dennis, was also a highlight. Highly recommend!

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.

Among my favorite things we did in Ireland. Highly recommend.

My father said he wanted to go to sheep dog training and i was happy to take him. I thought after the lesson he would finally sit and stay when... read more i whistled. Unfortunately it turned out that that wasn't what was happening. I'm still giving 5 stars though because the dogs were adorable and the demonstration i saw was fun and informative.

So much fun for the whole family!! Michael is amazing!

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!

Micheal was awesome! He really broke down what he looks for in a successful working dog, and why those traits were important. He was super knowledgeable and very friendly to... read more chat with. He gave us some good tips on what to check out near by as well. Very cool to see the demonstration in action as well!
