Step off the beaten track and discover an unforgettable rural adventure with our Sheepdog Demonstration Experience in County Sligo.
Nestled in the heart of Ireland’s northwest, this immersive activity offers visitors a rare opportunity to witness the remarkable connection between farmer and working dog in action.
Watch as expertly trained Border Collies respond to subtle whistles and voice commands, skilfully guiding sheep across open fields with precision, speed, and intelligence. This is not just a performance—it’s a living tradition that showcases the heritage and hard work behind Irish sheep farming.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Sligo’s rolling hills and rugged countryside, the demonstration is led by our very own Martin Feeney. You’ll gain a real insight into the day-to-day life on an Irish sheep farm, the intricate training involved, and the vital role these intelligent dogs play in sustainable farming.
This is a hands-on, personal experience where you’re welcome to ask questions, meet the dogs, and even try a few commands yourself. Whether you’re travelling solo, as a couple, or with a group, it’s a perfect way to connect with Ireland’s rich agricultural roots in a fun and engaging setting.
After the demonstration, enjoy the nearby peaceful surroundings, take in the fresh country air, and perhaps explore more of what scenic Sligo has to offer—from its wild Atlantic coastline to ancient archaeological sites.
Ideal for those seeking an authentic, off-the-track tourism experience, our Sheepdog Demonstration is a must-see highlight of your visit to the northwest of Ireland.
