How a Border Collie Herds Towards You

I'm Jim Leske, animal trainer with Expert Village. Today we're talking about herding and a specific command. This specific command is called to me. There's a number of ways that you can start training for this particular behavior. In this case Tess is out in the field working with some other dogs. When we don't have a flock of sheep like we don't have right here in the big city, we often improvise. Their herding instinct does come natural but as you can see, so, we're going to work with to me, good girl, very good, simple sound of my voice, a little positive encouragement. very good girl, to me, very good very good, yes, you're a big help. Very good girl, very good girl, and by practicing this a little bit with repetition we put in the to me and before you know it, they're herding everything from dogs to goats and everything in between. I'm Jim Leske and we'll be back with more herding tips and secrets after this.
