On arrival you will be welcomed by me, tenant farmer of Carcant farm and I will give an introduction that covers our work on the farm and explains what is involved in the demonstration, an explanation and demonstration of how we communicate with our dogs using their language. You will then move to the enclosed viewing area where I will work and describe how I communicate with my young dogs using just body language and gestures, demonstrating how to control the hunting instincts and utilize their energy in to a working method that shows empathy for the sheep. I will work with different dogs to show each step of training, while explaining why using pressure & release works and how important hierarchy is in the working dog. I will show how I teach my dogs to use their brain and think for themselves along with teaching associated commands. I will also explain how working with my method “The Natural Way” creates a willing partnership. After covering basic and intermediate stages I will bring out my fully trained dogs, demonstrating the value of these tremendous dogs as I replicate working situations what these dogs do every day. To finish the demonstration I will work with two main dogs together as a team demonstrating the true teamwork and partnership I have with my dogs. At the end there will be time for refreshments and to socialize with the dogs! Other things to note The farm is easy accessible by car or bus. The demonstration is held in the field by the house where there is a seating area for those less able. Toilets are in the farm yard. The yard is hardcore but it’s still best to dress for walking in a grass field, so wear appropriate clothing and footwear.

We shall meet at Bridgend Farmhouse, close to the city centre and right in the heart of Craigmillar Castle Park. A short cycle takes us to the 14th Century Craigmillar Castle where Mary Queen of Scots stayed after Rizzio was murdered at Holyrood Palace and 'Outlander' set. You will have time to explore the castle (entrance fee £6 per person paid to ticket office) and if you have children with you, we can visit a very impressive adventure playground a stone's throw away afterwards. We continue on through the 1831 built Innocent Railway Tunnel taking us through Holyrood Park with a wonderful long sweeping downhill ride all the way to Holyrood Palace so you can continue to learn more about Mary Queen of Scots (should you wish to!) without having to pedal all the way back uphill! Please contact me if you do not see a date that suits you. Other things to note This is a very easy cycle ride which is 8 miles. Perfect for those who enjoy a gentle ride out on the bikes to some of Edinburgh's most historic sites. Perfect for families. I will provide bikes, helmets and gloves.
