Wow, what a fantastic experience I had with the Sheepdog training team. I felt like I was already comfortable about firearms, but wow, I left with a huge amount more of confidence and knowledge. All of the staff were friendly, welcoming and supportive. I will be attending more of their trainings in the future. read more

All of our instructors were so skilled, kind, and helpful. I had only had a tiny bit of experience with firearms before taking the Women's Introductory Firearms class and I learned so much. They broke everything down into great simple and easy to digest steps. I felt safe the entire time. We got to try shooting a handgun, rifle, 9mm handgun, and a shotgun. It was great to feel the power from all different types to know what you'd like if you decide to purchase a firearm in the future. Such a necessary class for women looking to protect themselves. It was also so much fun while being informative and very safe. Can't wait to sign up for a future class! read more

I had been wanting to learn more about firearms for quite some time, and this introduction to firearms class was excellent. Our class had 16 students (women), and three instructors: Luis, Andrew and Rosi. The instructors were experienced, comfortable and confident and provided excellent information and encouragement. The class included gun and safety education as well as hands-on practice. The instructors went out of their way to provide information and guidance. Whether you own a weapon or not, the class is excellent and will benefit anyone. Tip: if you are sensitive to loud sounds, you may want to bring along some noise-canceling equipment. The class is held at the end of a beautiful canyon with multiple groups practicing shooting, so it can be a little loud, but you will feel very safe. read more

In January I took the Women's Intro to Firearms with Sheepdog Firearms Training. They offer women's firearm classes, Co-Ed and other firearms training courses. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a basic understanding of firearms, learn safety and/ or even considering owning a firearm. The class was safe, thorough and professional. Luis and his team are highly trained and knowledgeable. Not only do they show you what to do, they also are right there with you when you are doing it. I like that the classes are small enough for individual help and instruction. We fired training guns, 9MM, riffles and a shotgun. I'll definitely be signing up for another class. read more

Absolutely amazing my 15 year old daughter and I attended yesterday and she was little hesitant and Luis was able to take her one on one and train her after we were all finished and made her very comfortable we will sticking with this company going forward and will be attending every class they offer read more

Just attended my second women's only class with my daughter and we're both ready for more. If your a woman who's considered owning a gun but don't know where to start and/or feel too intimated by the male dominated classes this is your class! Started with the introduction to firearms last month which helped us get rid of our fear of firearms and today we took Women's personal protection class which just solidified our desire to own a gun for personal protection. Both classes taught us about gun safety and each built our confidence about the use of one. If you're hesitating DON'T. The trainers are very patient and friendly and don't bully you into learning techniques but individually show you when your technics are off. Initially my daughter didn't want to take the class for fear of shooting a gun and now she wants to own one. Mom is not going to be around to protect her so teaching her how to protect herself. read more

My friend, Lynn, and I attended the "Women's Introduction to Firearms" yesterday (June 1st). It was an awesome experience! Even though I have fired different types of guns before, I have never had instructions for proper use or handing of firearms. Luis and his team were extremely knowledgeable, professional, patient, and a lot of fun! Luis started from the ground up, teaching us all the important features of a gun, how to handle it, and of course, how to fire it. We shot handguns, a rifle, and a shotgun. So, for anyone new to guns, have fears of guns, or just want to have a refresher, this is the course to take. I highly recommend Sheepdog!! We have already signed up for "Women's Personal Protection Course: Firearm Self-Defense Training". read more

Great training for handguns in real world situations. They train rain or shine and it was very informative for every level. Some in the class were newer shooters, and they taught at their level, others were more experienced and were taught at their level, plus a LEO that was brushing up his skills, all learning and advancing forward. A big thanks to SFT!!! read more

Highly recommend Sheepdog Women's Intro and Intermediate courses. Intro course provides the basics of gun handling & gun safety. It seems so intimidating at first and yet comfortable because all the other women in class feel nervous in the same way. The instructors are super patient and kind. We practiced handgun and rifle and even got to try a shotgun. Guns and amo were included. Home invasion and defense scenarios are discussed. Intermediate women's course had us review basics and then learn new skills which all build on each other. The pace of class if good and instructors make sure you can do the skills before moving on. We got to shoot a lot more than Intro course and got to bring in our own gun for practice. This was invaluable because I practically got 1:1 instruction on handling and problem solving my new gun. If you have always wanted to learn and feel more comfortable around guns, you should check out their courses. Super fun with family or a group of girlfriends. My sister-in-law and I had the best time and can't wait to go again. read more

I went to their Women Intro to Firearm TODAY and the class was amazing. I have shot previously before with my husband but I felt I should take my own class to learn how to better improve. The class was informative and what I greatly appreciate was they taught both by us watching them and then doing it yourself. Even though it was a group class, they both gave all of us ladies one on one training and corrections. They made us reasonable of loading our own magazines. I feel this was important because this was an actual course not a let us give you loaded weapons and go shooting. I would highly refer this class to everyone I know!!!! read more

This review is long overdue. Attended the Women's intro to Firearms course recently and it was by far one of the best experiences I've had. To start off, I had no experience with firearms whatsoever and I was a bit nervous to attend the class. The instructors made all of us ladies feel comfortable, confident and most importantly, they made us feel safe. I was glad that I took the course and I left feeling empowered and confident. I am planning in continuing my learning and signing up for other courses as these skills are priceless, especially during these times. I encourage anyone, especially ladies to attend these courses and to learn how to properly and safely handle a firearm. A big thanks to these amazing instructors Luis, Andy and Edras. Thank you, gentlemen for such an amazing experience! read more

They provide excellent instruction on the basics of using a firearm, to more advanced instruction using scenarios one might face in real life. The women's introductory course is a good start, and taking more courses increases confidence in handling a firearm. Luis and his staff are patient and detail oriented, providing corrective feedback when they see an error. Safety is paramount, and you get to experience dry fire and actual use of everything from a .22, 9 mm, AR, and a shotgun. Ladies, take courses with Sheepdog Firearms Training! You won't regret it! read more

Instructor Luis and his assistants do a great job keeping it real, safe and fun. The classes are affordable and within an hour drive from pretty much anywhere in the LA area.

I took the women's introduction to firearms course and had a great time. Andrew and Luis were incredibly patient and passionate about firearms safety and use. They walked us through the basics, introduced the firearms, how to clear and make a firearm safe and then followed through with shooting. I appreciated their respect for safety and the fact that they didn't just hand us loaded guns. Having zero experience prior to the class I feel so much more confident handling and being around firearms. Thanks guys! read more

These guys were awesome from the beginning. I am not experienced with firearms. They taught me everything from how to make the gun safe to loading and shooting. I have now taken two women's classes. I highly recommend these classes to anyone looking to learn how to use a gun. You can also take your own firearm and run through drills. Very helpful every step of the way. Highly recommend and will be signing up for future classes. Thanks sheepdog! read more

Loved the experience. I have traumas from gun incidents and didn't want to be afraid of guns anymore. I took this class and they are so patient with you. I was afraid to pull the trigger. They stood by my side patiently and encouraged me. I didn't feel rushed or as if I was a burden. Will definitely be taking more classes with them. read more

Best place to take your old English Sheepdogs! They do basic training classes the first couple few times. They have a large field with a rabbit on a string machine and my dogs loved it.

What a great experience. Would highly recommend. Make sure your dog is socialized read more
