      If they have the instinct and the WILLPOWER to want to do it. It works great!

    Quite amazing what skill level herding dogs can achieve.
    Replacing many humans on foot.

      Most dogs don't sulk.
      Always a smile. Waggly tail. Sparkling eyes. A kiss through a lick and a smell. Don't moan or back chat. And. And.
      What an example to many of mankind.
      Give gas! Put foot. Pedal to the metal.

      Just spend time with the dog on the leash and when you say come by less the dog left and when you say way to me lead the dog to the right and with repetition and time they’ll pick it up fast!

    What’s this collar and no fence??? Very interested in what that is and where you got it. Great content always a joy.

    • @WholesomeFamilyFarms

      The company No Fence makes collars for cattle, sheep, and goats and you make a virtual boundary fence on your phone and when they approach the boundary line the collar will give a warning with a tone and if they keep going they’ll get a pulse.

    Kind of weird to train them on leash. I was always taught getting them to balance on the 12 o clock position was one of the first key steps. Its how i trained my dog.
    Like do they just go all the way around when you let them off leash?

    • @WholesomeFamilyFarms
      @WholesomeFamilyFarms  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      My main dog learned only from a leash. By 12 months he could push em from 6 and bring them from the 12 o’clock position.

      They are mostly Spanish goats. There are enough goats to do some great work on clearing brush and improving the land!

      @WholesomeFamilyFarms  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I like to start the pups young. Get em to learn how to sit stay come lie down etc. as soon as you can. Then hope to have them be good with commands like come by way there by the time they’re 10 months old or so. But every dog is different too.

    Could any breed be trained to do this?

    • @WholesomeFamilyFarms
      @WholesomeFamilyFarms  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      They’ve gotta have the instinct to want to work livestock. There are even a lot of border collies that may not work sometimes. You’ll know if you have one that loves it. If there are livestock around the dog should be laser focused on doing that.

      I literally just put them on the leash and start working with them day by day and saying commands and lead them where I want them to go with each specific command.
