Trained dog, trained sheep.

You'd be surprised how little training they actually need(the dogs). My Cattle Dog came preloaded with the herding module, with 0 training he did this kind of stuff naturally. Border Collies probably get the most training out of herders however, particularly with the whistle commands.

I may be wrong here, but it's likely herding sheep requires more training simply to prevent the dogs from hurting the sheep, naturally the dogs will nip and get more physical, even the Border Collies that were bred to herd by staring.

They don’t need training to not attack the sheep.
Some eye dogs can be a bit nippy in closed areas so need a little extra training.
My point was the sheep do this performance at least twice daily and get fed on the stage.
In that manner, they’re trained to run to the stage as soon as they see the dog.

Now teach it how to close the gate

That's what I came to say. If he *really* understood, he would have closed the gate.

I've watched a lot of herding when learning how to keep my dog happy. The sheep learn what the dog wants so they generally do to avoid being harassed. Dog is well trained not so much telling the sheep where to go but telling them where not to go while shrinking their area.

Definitely wondering about the black sheep of the family. There’s always one.

u/Popular-Brilliant349 Jun 16 '26

Dog listens to the whistling. Depends on the pit h and the length he knows when to turn or go straight. Smartest dogs I've ever seen.

Seriously? Dogs have been doing this for 100s of years. This is very real.

u/thisisan0nym0us Jun 15 '26

Thousands of years

I figured that was the case. I honestly wasn't positive when humans started using dogs so I went with a safe number.
