 At Irish Working Sheepdogs, we recognise the importance of the bond between a dog and its owner. That’s why we offer hands-on lessons and training programs for sheepdog owners.

Under Michael’s guidance with over 40 years of experience, you’ll follow a simple, step-by-step plan that gives you the knowledge and confidence to train your own sheepdog. Whether you’re curious to learn the basics or ready to begin your herding career, our programs are designed to pass on the heritage and skills of working with Border Collies in an authentic, approachable way.

  • 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.
