  Barnbawn

  The last stop of our Wicklow day tour is to a working sheep farm. Meet a friendly local farmer who will delight in introducing you to rural life on the farm. You will be introduced to their working sheepdogs; they will explain the breed of dog used and show you how they are trained to carry out their duties. The farmer will also talk about the different breeds of sheep in Ireland and what they are used for. Then finally the main event, a sheepdog demonstration. This is a truly unique experience and gives you a great insight into how dogs are used to herd sheep, be it in the hills or in the fields using voice and whistle commands.
