Away to Me Sheepdog Demonstrations

Away to Me Sheepdog Demonstrations takes place at Malin Beg in south-west County Donegal, a remote coastal spot beyond Glencolmcille where farming and open hill ground meet the Atlantic.

Visitors watch working sheepdogs handle sheep on the farm, guided by whistle and voice commands in the way it is done on hill farms across Ireland. The demonstration explains how dogs are trained and the part they play in everyday farm work, and there is usually a chance to meet the dogs afterwards. It is an accessible outing for families and anyone curious about rural working life.
