A truly wonderful day. Nij is not only a shepherd who cares for his sheep and dogs intelligently. He is also a superb communicator who does not speak down to those undergoing the experience.The sheer magic of that moment when the dog reacts properly to the direction given by an amateur is difficult to recapture.A truly excellent experience thank you

Great day with Nij and his sheepdogs. Hes a very succesful trialist and the partnership with his dogs is absolutely amazing to see. Theres plenty of information as to whats happening and why, all within friendly and patient chat. It was fun to have a go at verbal commands myself. Id recommend this experience to anyone interested in country pursuits.

My wife and I had a superb day with Nij and his border collies. Nijs passion for his craft shone through and the bond between him and his dogs was a pleasure to behold up close. We even had the opportunity to round up the sheep with the dogs ourselves, which was an amazing experience.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience day. The trainer was a really lovely man and explained everything to me in great detail. He told me exactly what to do and when so I felt confident all day. We spent lunch time together and chatted like old friends. I said at the begining of the day what I was wanting to do and it worked out really well.
