POP-UP Reindeer Herding
Have you ever wondered how an entire herd of reindeer is guided in the right direction?
A reindeer herding dog is an important working partner for a reindeer herder, making it much easier to gather and move reindeer. A good working dog needs to be quick, alert and able to follow the herder's commands.
In this unique demonstration, you'll get to see a trained reindeer herding dog at work, herding reindeer in an enclosure right here at Sammuntupa. You'll see firsthand how working dogs are used in traditional reindeer herding and what kind of teamwork is needed between the dog and the herder. During the demonstration, our guide will explain what’s happening in the enclosure and why
After the demonstration, we'll enjoy coffee and traditional Finnish sweet buns.
A little glimpse into real reindeer herding work – right here at Sammuntupa!
