  • Today me and echo talk through and and demonstrate the commands used in herding to give everyone some more insight or help others to understand herding a little more as you watch

    The best part about watching this fascinating video is how much Echo loves his job. He's really into it and you can tell he likes being an important part of the work.

      no one loves their job as much as a border collie!

    • @dorian4534
      @dorian4534 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

      Prefacing this with I'm autistic, I always say that Border Collies are, themselves, autistic, and their special interest is herding.

    • @a.b.s.

      Echo is a trained dog which has the instinct of herding in it's genes. It doesn't have those complex feelings about "loving his job". It's an animal.
      Much more fascinating is love and skill of that man who chose a job that not many people(or, as dog lovers would say, humans)will. Congratulations to that young man who possess the real man love and skill.

    I love that I stumbled onto your channel. I have Border Collies and herd with them " part time." I started almost 20 years ago. It is the most difficult thing I have ever done. I love the connection and partnership with my dogs. They have taught me so much. I am still blown away, and left speechless just being constantly amazed and humbled by them. My Kate turns 13 on January 2. The younger one, Cora is almost 4 yo.
    Thank you for your great videos. People need to see what these amaxing dogs were bred for. And yes, as you say, they love and live for their work.

  • @katschs3965
    @katschs3965 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +34

    Thanks, Sean! I wish all dog owners would understand the importance of being able to stop and recall your dog. Too many people either never train their dogs properly or wait too late to start that training. My friend lost a beautiful black lab who would not come when called and was hit by a car. Proper training is a life essential for your dogs. Head scratches to all the pups and a happy Christmas to you and Stacey.

  • @sherryseeton6749
    @sherryseeton6749 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +25

    Beautifully responsive dog.❤ I'm so envious of handlers who use that infernal little whistle. It looks so easy, but I wore out my mouth trying to master it and finally admitted defeat. I felt like I was embarrassing my dog with my spluttering and spitting.☹️

  • @amystarke3317

    @6kat103 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

    I have 2 Australian Shepherd dogs. One is calm, the other is dying to herd anything and just loves any instructions, any job, any way to please ♥️ So inspiring to see Echo at work. Hope to learn bits from you to keep her from driving the neighbor horses nuts.

  • @alexandra2jerry
    @alexandra2jerry 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

    Absolutely brilliant dog handling and let’s not forget the sheep. I could just hear them “ Oh here we go again Bessie, run to your right, now your left, I wish he’d make his mind up” 💕😂💕 Thank you as always, Alex in Florida

    @kitc1031 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +35

    You need to give your hair a command, "Lie down." I do feel a little lost with the whistle commands, but you did say the dogs like them. So I'm happy for that. It is so much fun watching your dogs act to your commands. I love it! Also, I was laughing at the sheep. Sometimes it looked like they were also following your command. Merry Christmas Sean, Stacy, all the animals and the subscribers.

    I saw your stuff in shorts. For 18yrs my best friend was Muttley a Kelpie X Dingo the colour of sand dunes in sunset. The energy he had & excitement for burning energy could never run out...even a day before his death from massive liver cancer he still wanted to go out. I had just finished security dog training the yr before I got him so I trained him in verbal & non verbal commands. He was my 1st dog & we went everywhere together & were only apart for 5 days in 18yrs. I would like to get another dog but I just can't.

    Thank you for taking the time to produce this. We had a beautiful border collie named Roxie. She was one of the smartest dogs I have ever known. We had to be cautious with her around our granddaughters. She thought they were sheep and would try to nip and herd the kids.

Also rescued and placed many of their kind in time.Now watching your comprehensive basic teachings makes me dream of an open space where despite of the strong wind I would RECALL them , the most intelligent treasure B.C❤❤❤

    I love these videos! Fantastic! I've never owned a sheep dog, but I had a wonderful Gordon Setter. I know from my Gordon (Buster) that training a dog requires a ton of patience and perseverance. But, there's something genetically in these breeds as well. I'm not a hunter, but I lived in a rural area at the time I had Buster. He could sniff out anything! Pheasant. Rabbits. Snakes. Field mice. Whatever. Whenever I threw something for him to retrieve and it landed in tall grass, he had a very methodical, zig zagging method of finding the object, which he almost always did find. I didn't teach him that. He knew. Certainly your dogs have an in-built knack for herding. It's your guidance, though, that obviously brings that to the level of art. Simply, Wow!

    I had noticed that you sometimes say “that’ll do” when the dog isn’t finished working. I was confused by that, so I’m glad you explained it.

    With the best of intentions "Seanthesheepman", you have got it back to front. Your dog has trained YOU to give those commands to legitimize its actions as it goes about the job as it deems best.

    Sean, you've trained those dogs so well! They are so smart and obedient! Even when they are far afield, They'll hear you whistle or say a command and do it! Incredible Sean! I'm proud to be of Scottish heritage too! My ancestors were the Clough's and came over very early in our History. They fought against the English King during our Revolution! And they were here 130 years before that! They're listed as being amongst the original settlers of this 'New Nation on Earth. My great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grand fathers Josia, Daniel and John Clough, "Americanized" Clough, to Cluff. They are buried in the old cemetery in Salem, New Hampshire. I fear they must be spinning in their graves seeing what we've become! Ahhh....The hills are calling me back!...and the puppies too! God Bless Scotland!!
