É uma experiência quase única para se ver. Vale a experiência, crianças devem gostar bastante também. O instrutor explica bastante sobre e é atencioso. No fim fiquei com dó das ovelhas hahahaha. A... read more lojinha achei um pouco expansiva, mas há produtos bem bonitos e bons.

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

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

An unexpected highlight of my Irish vacation. Michael put on a real show for us. The dogs are amazing. The surroundings can't be beat. Don't miss this place!

Was an awesome experience ?✨

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

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

Called in advance, Michael is awesome.

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!

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

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. So amazing! Lisa was wonderful to work with prior to our visit and payment was only due at the end of the demonstration. Thank you again for a wonderful visit to your beautiful farm!

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.

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.

This was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The dogs are clearly well-loved and cared for, and an incredible testament to their training. Michael did an excellent job of... read more explaining the training process and sheep farming to us. The sheep were beautiful and the facilities were clean and easy to find, and it started on time. He happily answered questions of all sorts and was a pleasure to learn from. I 100% recommend this experience if you are in the Dublin area and want to enjoy a sheep dog demonstration.

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!

Très intéressant est impressionnant. Je n'attendais pas grand chose de cette attraction et j'ai été très agréablement surpris

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.

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!

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

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.

The demonstration and history were fascinating, and the owners were very friendly and incredibly knowledgeable.

Excellent demo of how sheepdogs work with the farmers. Mike is a gem.

10/10 experience! Had the best time here and would absolutely recommend. A very unique thing to watch and the dogs are adorable and skilled

I can’t say enough about how fun this was. We were a group of four ladies and we had a private demo. Mike answered all our questions and shared his... read more life story with us. We didn’t feel rushed and just enjoyed. We loved seeing his dogs in action. One was an old hand at it and one was still learning but had tons of energy and willingness. Thank you Mike and sorry you had to wait for us as we were lost navigating!

Excellent explanation of the working dogs and sheep herding. I have seen this before but not such detailed explanation and demonstration. The different whistles and control was truly amazing. The... read more little store to buy products was good local products.

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.

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!

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

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