  • 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 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.

  • 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. 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.
