Experience hands-on training with real sheep! Our friendly flock will make it possible to approach sheep in a safe way to practise the training exercises, ensuring practical and effective learning.
Details:
Whether you prefer a group workshop or one-on-one sessions, we offer flexible options to suit your needs. Regular practice with the presence of sheep is essential for the success of your dog’s training journey. After the workshop, we’ll schedule follow-up classes to provide ongoing support and practice opportunities.
Important Note:
Please note that our workshop is not to rehabilitate or punish dogs that have already chased or bitten livestock. Safety is our top priority, and dogs will not be off-leash around sheep during training sessions. We prioritize the well-being of both dogs and livestock, providing a safe environment for effective training.
