It was great to be outdoors enjoying the experience and learning about sheepdogs and sheep. Learning how different the dogs are, the trainers are great and made it such fun. I would also like to thank Pip, Fred and Chilli the dogs

Sandra
A wonderful experience.The talk was very informative about collies and the shepherding was so much fun. A great day. Thank you.
Andrew Tidmarsh
A great experience for those interested in border collies and who wonder what it must be like to work them. Not only do you get a quick talk on the work they do at the border collie rescue centre but you get to work with different dogs under instruction to control a small flock of sheep. I would recommend to anyone with a love of border collies or a fascination with shepherding.
