Gun Dog Experience

Step into a tradition as old as the countryside itself with our captivating Gun Dog Experience, set on the grounds of Cashel Palace and framed by the iconic silhouette of the Rock of Cashel rising just beyond our garden walls.

Led by our skilled handler James, this engaging activity offers an up-close look at the intelligence and elegance of working Labradors. You will watch these beautifully trained dogs demonstrate a range of skills. From obedience to retrieves and directional work, all honed through instinct, patience, and trust.

What makes this experience truly special is its interactive nature, under James’s guidance, guests are invited to step into the role of handler, offering commands and guiding the Labradors through a series of tasks. It’s a rare and rewarding opportunity to witness, and be part of, the remarkable communication between dog and human.

Whether you are a dog enthusiast or simply curious, this experience offers insight, inspiration, and a lasting connection to one of the countryside’s most cherished partnerships.
