点评:We did a lot of things while we were in Scotland but this was hands down the absolute highlight of our trip! If you’re looking for a truly bespoke experience, you really cannot miss a trip to Lurgan Farm and meeting Gert and his team of working sheepdogs. This is not a timed/choreographed “show” with a tour bus of people you don’t know but a very intimate and unique experience one-on-one with Gert where he introduces you to each of his dogs and explains each individual dog’s strengths, their training, and the valuable role they play herding sheep on the farm. These dogs are incredibly well trained and it was evident that they adore Gert just as much as he does them. It’s not scripted at all and he encouraged questions and you get to meet all of his very friendly dogs. After the extensive intro, Gert then gave us a demo of his dogs in action and what each of the whistle commands meant. The word impressive doesn’t even come close to describing seeing these dogs at work. After the demo, we then got to bottle feed two baby cows and two lambs (which was an add on). We had such an incredible visit and it’s not something we will ever forget. If you’re debating on whether or not to visit Lurgan Farm if you’re traveling to Scotland, don’t hesitate! It’s very reasonably priced and absolutely worth it. AMAZING TIME!!
翻译:我们在苏格兰期间做了很多事情,但这次绝对是我们旅程中最精彩的部分!如果您正在寻找真正独一无二的体验,那么千万不要错过卢根农场之旅,以及与格特和他的牧羊犬团队见面。这并非那种挤满陌生人的旅游巴士上的定时“表演”,而是一次与格特一对一的亲密而独特的体验。他会向您介绍他的每一只牧羊犬,并讲解每只狗狗的优势、训练方法以及它们在农场牧羊过程中扮演的重要角色。这些狗狗训练有素,而且它们显然和格特一样喜爱他。整个过程完全没有预先安排,格特鼓励您提问,您也有机会见到他所有非常友善的狗狗。在详尽的介绍之后,格特还为我们演示了他的狗狗们的工作,并解释了每个哨声指令的含义。“令人印象深刻”这个词根本不足以形容亲眼目睹这些狗狗工作的震撼。看完演示之后,我们还体验了给两头小牛和两只小羊喂奶(这是额外付费的项目)。这次参观真是太棒了,我们永远都不会忘记。如果你正在犹豫要不要去苏格兰的卢根农场,那就别犹豫了!价格非常合理,绝对物超所值。太棒了!!
