I spent years in animal care, training was a big part. But the problem is the owners most times. They CAN get it but they want their hands held & don't want to accept their contribution to the behavior problem. I just want happier dogs, asap. Significant problem using that to make a living so I concentrated on home care for medically fragile, breeders, farms etc. People don't know how to have dogs any better than they know how to raise kids. The stuff we fail to teach, SMH

I grew up with a border collie, and trained her with a whistle, too. Unbelievably smart dogs. Trained her for joring, and before I knew it, she could not only follow whistle commands, but follow traffic laws. It always amazed me that just through observing my behavior and commands, she learned to stop at stop signs and look for other vehicles before continuing.

we have a Pembroke Welsh Corgi and were always struck by his need to have people and things herded into a tidy little group. We learned about a local farmer who would test your dogs’ natural instincts and so we let our pup loose in a pen with some sheep. At first, he looked pretty disinterested but when the sheep started reacting, boy howdy, so did he and he ran them in circles, weaving and barking and having the time of his life. Best $20 I’ve ever spent, to see the joy on his face and watch the natural athleticism that is inherent with the breed.

Oh man! This was great show - loved you and Terrie! I had a GSD who lived to 15 y/o - we did obedience (and SAR) together - she failed her final obedience trial but they actually gave her a 'new' award - the most sarcastic entrant! She leaned way, way forward but never moved on the sit/stay when I walked off; slid to a stop in front of me when recalled; exploded around to the 'finish' and laid her head against me looking at me; laid on her side for the long down; totally ignored all the other dogs but crawled over to a little kid at the ring edge then crawled back to her spot on a 'down/stay'. The judges were actually giggling - and we were having a blast (we didn't care that she missed due to the finer points thing) - she *loved* when we did training; she also knew all the 'basic' tricks. God forbid you were outside when a storm came - she would 'herd' you into the house - and once the door was shut she ran for the bathtub .... I still miss her ... best dog ever!!

Your GSD sounds like a wonderful dog, and I wish you had video footage of her final obedience trial to share with us. I started learning obedience training with a club near Ft Worth, TX back in '92, and after moving, with a NADOI-certified instructor that worked through a small town parks & rec department. I also joined another dog obedience club, and we drilled in Mardi Gras parades, we worked on flyball, we did agility work, we trained for competitive obedience and therapy dog certs, we fooled a little with herding, and we did CGC testing. My Aussie Chow cross I owned at the time failed for reasons similar to your GSD's, so seeing your memories warmed my heart. Thank you for sharing that. My oldest daughter took her first training class at age 8, and we went on later to do SAR training with her Catahoula cur rescue dog. Learning to train your dogs provides such rich rewards that go on for decades with every dog you will own. Why people own dogs and refuse to bother to learn how to train their companions is just beyond me. Dog training is one of the most satisfying life-skills I've ever learned.

@@marahdolores8930 Thank you for your story - I enjoy hearing other people's 'dog experiences' - you are so correct about the 'rewards' of training. Pawsha (my GSD) changed my life - literally. I loved training her and people to work with their dogs so much I left 17 years of working in the corporate world to be a puppy-parent trainer. After several years of training I moved to being a dog groomer - my specialty is training puppies to be groomed - something they will be doing the rest of their lives - and 're-training' old cranky dogs who have had a bad experience at grooming (been doing that now for 18 years). Watching the 'light go off' in their heads and gaining their trust is so rewarding.

One time they put a litter of bunnies out in the yard just to see what one of our dog would do (just one dog, didn't want to stress out the bunnies). No one had trained her for this. She kept rounding them back up into a circle each time the bunnies tried to investigate the yard. It was very cute.

Mike there is an old saying on ranches, "If you want to know how important you are try ordering someone else's dog around." Mostly its because most don't know the commands. Yes there are standard ones but they aren't always used. Good job!

This is great! One of the best series of videos I've seen are from England or Ireland where the shepherds put lights on their sheep and have their dogs herd them into formation to music. Best. Thing. Ever! Super impressive!

"I've got worms" hilarious response to "Bad Dog (Mike Rowe)". Best way to learn and comprehend what your dog must do by learning their job physically

I have been to the sheep dog completions several times. I was blown away by the dog’s strength, stamina, intelligence and patience. It was amazing to watch.

Amazing that she can handle multiple dogs at the same time and the dogs can understand that some whistles are not for them.

Winston, my Border Collie totally loved this episode! He loves watching any border collie herding videos and gets very worked up over them, creeps up on them on the screen giving them his Border Collie eye. He looked like he was entertained by this one! :)

I lived in New Zealand for nearly 30 years; a VERY popular TV program was called "The Dog Show" (genius marketing with THAT title) and it was an hour-long that had genuine shepherds compete with each other to see who could get their dogs to round up sheep, run them through bizarre courses then pen them in the quickest time. I LOVED it!!!

Best dog I ever had was a border collie and Australian shepherd mix. That darn dog was so smart that she'd stare at the door handle with a look on her face that could only be described as, "If I only had thumbs!!"

Mike is always willing to try and learn anything. Those are great attributes for any person to have.

Mike and Terri are both doing a GREAT job playing the foil for each other. I love how well Brice chased down and brought that flock of sheep back all on his own. And he was smart enough to know he needed to jump straight into the water to cool down. Good boy, Brice! I plan to come back later and finish the episode.

When I was little she would let me lay my head on her to take naps and would sit at the end of our drive way like a sphinx and would just quietly watch and stare down anything or anyone that went by our house. And a few times she easily jumped over our 6 ft fence into our neighbors backyard.
