A Rare Privilege
Don’t miss this! Martin and young pup Mist were so enthusiastic and brilliant. We went on a rainy day, stood under the thoughtful stay-dry area and forgot about the weather. From Viking ship info to endangered sheep rescue, Martin made certain we learned intriguing facts about this gorgeous region. Generous, heart-felt, talented gentleman. We were privileged to meet him.MoMo Alvarado – Tripadvisor

Uplifting visit!
Just back from a trip to Ireland which included a visit to Atlantic Sheepdogs for a fabulous demonstration by Martin. He has an amazing setup there and Martin is so professional and welcoming. Not only was it an uplifting experience, I learned so much just from that one visit. I would highly recommend a visit!Tracey, Brentwood – Tripadvisor

A great family experience. The welcome is really very friendly. The site where you can listen to the explanations and watch the dog work is well laid out, even in the event of rain.

Amazing Demonstration!
We had the best time here!! We have a full border collie who is smarter than the other dogs around but NOTHING like his dogs at Atlantic. The owner/trainer is really something exciting to watch. I never imagined anything like it. You will be entertained as well as educated. Everyone, even non dog lovers found this great, really wonderful!! Pam and Russ from TNPam B, Alameda – Tripadvisor

Martin is so talented, personable, and funny. His dog Mo is remarkable, and loves the pets to boot. We had a wonderful time being both educated and entertained during the demonstration!
