Thank you (I do my best).

It certainly is. Glad you like the video - thanks for the feedback!

Thanks! I'm glad you like it!

Correct. They're tough Border Collie sheepdogs. That's how they play, but just as with humans, there's an element of 'dominance' in their play. They wrestle one another to the ground daily, but they weren't biting, holding on and shaking their opponent. If they were really fighting it would be a different matter.

It sounds as though Sadie has found a wonderful home @Aardvarkjamm! Not enough people can tell the difference between dogs fighting and those which are merely having fun, but of course, there's a fine line between the two. Your enthusiasm and understanding of your dog is refreshing, and I'm so glad to know you really enjoyed the video.

They're both female @watchmoivies123

@@andynick01 amazing. Spayed ?

They also look very much alike. Are they littermates?

@@watchmoivies123 They were not spayed, but they were half-sisters (same sire).

@psdeas, my apologies. I replied to your comment, but it got deleted. You'll find what you're looking for our website.

Yes! We have more than seventy great sheepdog training videos for our members to watch online these days: workingsheepdog.co.uk

Yes of course: herding-dog-training-border-collie-sheepdog-dvd.com/

Thanks! Yes wonderful.

They certainly do! A good dog requires only a few hints, and then it will perform the task without commands. The can sometimes go wrong though, if the dog misinterprets what the handler wants it to do!

In the UK you could buy a dog which can work at a distance from the handler for around £2,000 to £4,000 (GBP) but sometimes they can sell for a lot more than that.

thank you@@andynick01

Thank you!

First, you need to be sure your dog is showing the 'hunting instinct' when it sees sheep. 'Herding' a wheelbarrow is encouraging, but does not necessarily mean he'll be interested in livestock. If he ignores them, it may be difficult to get trigger the herding instinct. It can usually be done, but it can be a tedious process! (We have two online training tutorials called "Starting a non-starter" on our website). If the dog is interested in sheep, I suggest you start with lambs. Older sheep can be stubborn and even aggressive towards the dog. If possible, get sheep that are familiar with being worked by dogs. In the UK these are known as "Dogged" sheep. They will be FAR easier to start the dog on, but as it makes progress, you'll need to move on to more challenging sheep! There's a huge amount of advice on our website, as well as over seventy videos if you're interested enough to learn how to train your dog. sheepdog-training.com Good luck with your new venture!

Thanks for getting back to me Andy and yes im absolutely biting at the bit to get into this hobby...He has the hunting instinct but i disencouragedvit from a pup cus i dint wsnt him chasing absolutely everything ..like other peoples horses and cars and other people cattle whilstbon walks and such ..but now that he isnt w pup and has super obediency i realise that was a mistake ..it was ok to do wen he was a 3mth old and didnt really listen justvwas chasing things with his brother ( i had 2 initially but quickly tealised theyvare a one man dog and i wad never going to get the same level of obedience whilst having 2 together as he needed to know i was god and not that i came 2nd place over his brother. A farmer had 10 pups born behind a bale i found them and reared them all built a pen in farmers shed to contain them and went der 3 times a day to tendvto der needs ..fresh bedding water feed ..initially putting 5 on and 5 off the bitch for all to get fair share of milk ..all d pups survived ..even the farmer admitted that they all would have died bar for me . The only pup that went to someone who didnt have stock was merck to me...the farmer said he was the unlucky one ..but merck lives the life of a king with me..has had loads of imteraction with people and other dogs ect unlike thebpup the farmer kept who generally is either in d jeep or in d shed and has seen no other dogs barr his dad(which is my lads dad) but d dad is aggressive towards him not seriously just showing whos boss but has broken his skin on headvand ear not too bad tho ... i go to see both the dad and mercks brother moss every day ..i walk moss and give him chicken cus d farmer just gives him scraps..and he dont hardly get any walks .. both merck and moss really love to see eachother and playfight bigstyle. I never knew BC would be so different to any other dog ...il never choose any other dog over these now. All the other 9 pups were like the bitch short coat gree eyes in d dark ..mervk is the spit of his dad ..long haired orange eyes in the dark . The farmer gave the bitch away thankgod cus it was tons of work for me and i walked that bitch every day for 2 years cus else shed av been left in shed .. Andy i just wanted one of them pups to have a proper life not a life with a farmer stuck in a shed . The pup the farmer kept (moss) was totally untrained ...but ive found time to train him to sit..and return..by holding out my hand palm side up and daying "moss moss touch touch. He wont return for the farmer or the other men on d farm only me. I loved evety one of those 10 pups ..i really loved them ..id carry 5 pups at a time over to the safe field to enjoy the summer sun ..else the farmer wud av just left them in the shed ..well to be fair he wouldnt hav any to leave im the shed cus theyd have fallen away one by one ...how ridiculous to think that you dont have to contain and build pen for newborn pups inva shed full of wire chemicals masdive gaps under doors ect. Moss still lives in the pen i built for the pups ..he jumps in der to escape the dad cus d dad cant jump in ..the farmer thinks its great to see the dad attack moss.!! Il vertainly look at your vids on training tutorials ..im self employed and think il half my work ..to become an expert at come by and away. If im good enough id like to make a side business out of traing BC . Merck is the best bc ul have ever seen in all your days ...and i know uve had loads probably ..but this lad is outstanding ..the farmer is so jelous cus merck is so wrll trained ..i can tell him to sit and stay and walk half a km near out of sight and he wont budge tl i give command ..which will be verbal but also accompanied by a pysical gesture ...cus i know that if they go deaf later in life they still recognise command by the physical command.

I reluctantly turned comments off because of the vile comments some people left on it...

I would love to enable comments on that video if it weren't for the sick characters who take pleasure in saying vile things.

Sport words: jete, snooker, bloop, lutz, deke, juke, putt, stymie

Thanks! It's good to know the video is of help to you!

@@andynick01 and most importantly, to the sheep <3

Ha-ha! Yes! They do it when they're out in the field playing, so it came as second nature to her when she didn't want to be near the sheep!

Not sure what you mean. We ship the DVDs to Australia (and worldwide) but the dogs being trained on the DVDs are Border Collies. The same training works with Bearded Collies and Australian Kelpies

Yes! It's amazing how they can land on their feet after such contortion in the air!

I like sheep too that is why I watched it.

@@moonwolfy3179 Yes, they are good animals.

@@moonwolfy3179 Yes, they are good animals.

Yes of course! When sheep get tangled in brambles, they're in serious trouble too. Unfortunately, freeing them can be more difficult than righting a cast sheep because of the spikey bramble stems.

@@andynick01 True enough. I have only ever seen it once in 40 years, but I am not around sheep much nowadays. I used to walk over Dartmoor a lot, so lots of sheep there! Stuck in a city, sadly.

Working cattle with dogs is similar to working sheep with dogs, except for the safety angle. A dog, might bring sheep running towards you, and the danger level is comparatively small. A group of cattle running towards you is potentially far more dangerous, so we recommend you train the dog to push cattle away from you first, and once the dog is working well and the cattle respect it, allow the dog to bring them towards you (steadily). Another difference is that often the dog needs to be more assertive to move cattle than it would with sheep. We only train with Border Collie and Kelpie sheepdogs, so I don't feel able to advise you with other breeds, but the basics are the same, of course.

@@andynick01 thanks! He already knows how to round them up. I just need to teach him more for control and reason. He just chases them most of the time. He's an Australian Cattle Dog.

@@drviagrin3798 It sounds as though you're making progress with him but when they're not listening (or stopping) it can be hard work!

@@andynick01 he does stop when I tell him too. The only problem I have is getting him to understand that I want them driven in a particular place. He just runs them in a random place.

Thanks Amber!

it's over
