How Sheep Herding Works

A local farmer runs a demo

You’ll meet a professional who’s been working dogs for years - often family-run and multi-generational. They’ll explain how dogs respond to whistles and hand signals, then show you in real time.

You see dogs in action

This part speaks for itself. The dog and shepherd move the sheep through gates and around the field. You see exactly how clear signals and trust get the job done. It’s a quiet but powerful example of communication and precision.

Your team gets involved

Depending on the setup and group size, some team members will try basic commands with the dog. It's always optional, but it gives people a chance to apply what they’ve seen. The rest of the team observes and supports.

We wrap it up with a group chat

There’s a quick debrief with the shepherd. Your team can ask questions and reflect on what they’ve just seen. It’s a natural lead-in to bigger Team Building conversations, trust, timing, and clear roles.
