Sheep Dog Experience

Overview

Step into the shoes of a sheepdog handler with our newest farm experience! Walk through the kennels to meet our full pack before heading into the fields to see them in action. You’ll discover how a bouncy puppy becomes a master herder as you watch our dogs demonstrate their skills with both sheep and ducks, learn the secrets behind their training, and test your own skills with a complimentary working whistle to keep as a memento. Perfect for dog lovers of all ages!
