    This guy uses voice commands! Really? I never used voice commands on my three collie dogs. You should whistles, especially when your in a field. When you use a voice command it can become gargled the farther away your dog is, but a whistle will stay nice and clear.

    They have a basic idea of what to do. But they don't know certain commands they need to in order to work with you. A young border collie will often split up a herd and simply cause a mess. They need the training to learn where to move the herd, how far back to stay, when they should move (if you are trailing behind.) they're born with the outline, but they know very little of what they really need to do.

  5. You're supposed to train them? I thought Border Collies naturally knew how to herd- when the pups were old enough we just put them out with the sheep & cows and they knew what to do immediately.

  6. I got a border collie before I ever thought of riding horse and workin cows... seems that I picked the right pup for the trade! This was really neat, looks like something I could try.
