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!

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

Amazing show. Fly was so cute

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!

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.

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

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.

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!

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

One of my favorites from our visit to Ireland! Really interesting to see and learn more about! Super friendly farmer and dogs!

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

Loved the dogs, so cool what they can do.

Called in advance, Michael is awesome.
