What happens on the day?

On arrival at the farm, you will be welcomed by Barbara Sykes and introduced to the other participants in your group for the training session. You’ll spend five hours as part of a group working with the fully-trained sheep dogs. During your lesson, you’ll find out all about these special breed of dogs as you try your hand at one of man’s oldest skills.
