点评:This was a Xmas present for my partner. I booked the shepherds experience after we passed the farm last year and we were greeted by several excited puppies trying to get under the fence to greet us. The shepherds experience was excellent, we were greeted by Rachel on arrival and my partner was immediately drafted in to hand bottle feed days old Herdwick lambs. We were then introduced to Rebel and Fin two of the many working sheepdogs they have and the two we were to work with. Rachel was very calm, patient and informative throughout. We were given the commands for the dogs to follow but these dogs were way ahead of us and knew exactly what to do.
After working with the dogs we got to meet some of the other animals on the farm. Tim the goat was practically glued to us demanding to be fussed and the large group of piglets were adorable.
The whole experience was excellent, all the animals looked clean well cared for and in excellent condition. The dogs were very friendly and just seemed to absolutely love what they were doing.
I would highly recommend this experience for anyone young or old.
翻译:这是送给我伴侣的圣诞礼物。去年我们路过农场后,我预订了牧羊犬体验。当时,几只兴奋的小狗正试图钻过栅栏迎接我们。这次牧羊犬体验非常棒,Rachel 一到就热情地迎接了我们,我的伴侣立刻被安排用奶瓶喂刚出生几天的赫德威克羊羔。之后,他们给我们介绍了 Rebel 和 Fin,它们是农场里众多工作牧羊犬中的两只,也是我们要一起训练的两只。Rachel 在整个过程中都非常冷静、耐心,并且提供了很多信息。我们被告知要让狗狗们服从的指令,但这些狗狗们远远领先于我们,并且确切地知道该做什么。
在和狗狗们一起训练之后,我们还认识了农场里的其他一些动物。山羊 Tim 几乎粘着我们,要我们照顾,一大群小猪也非常可爱。
整个体验非常棒,所有的动物看起来都很干净,照顾得很好,状态也很好。狗狗们非常友好,似乎非常喜欢它们的工作。
我强烈推荐这种体验给任何年轻人或老年人。
