Love Border Collies? Join us and try something exciting and fun

Our sheepdog handling courses/activities are designed for the absolute beginner or novice, with one-to-one or group of two tuition . makes a lovely gift for the  dog lover .

We have a team of working sheepdogs trained to work to a high standard with members of the public. On your experience you will handle a dog with sheep (under instruction) around a small course to test your new skills at the end of your session .

The beauty of working sheepdogs is that it requires minimum physical effort (but you must be fit enough to do it), it offers a real challenge to both dog and handler. Our dogs operate on a variety of commands which you will learn. The most fun is when you put your new skills into practice, however, as sheep can be a fickle animal at the best of times. They don't always do as instructed and this may be your greatest enjoyment! - either way we are sure you will have the most memorable time with us! now at crosthwaite see new tel number  07788298432
