I arrived late but Robin was patient and she knew exactly what to do.

Rachel and Robin were fantastic. Our Border Collie learned to herd sheep and we all had a wonderful time watching her. Will definitely return as our dog had a great time and a great learning experience.

I have the most amazing border collie! ROCKY! He was from Batman and Spin 2014. Amazing temperament, obedient, smart, healthy, fast, works hard! And a love-bug too. Robin's dogs are the cream of the crop!
