Can I borrow your dogs to do my taxes next year? They're smarter than my accountant.

Nothing better then watching a dog enjoy life ! These dogs absolutely love "working" beautiful to 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!

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

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.

You can tell Echo loves his work!

I love Echo rolling on the grass in the background at 1:30

And the dog seems SO HAPPY to follow the commands! That's some fine training... and a wonderful dog.

Literally the world’s most intelligent dog.

You can tell the dogs love what they do. So fascinating and beautiful to see how Sean works his dogs.

I’m amazed by Echo’s speed! He just flies 🪽🪽🪽

What gets me is how the sheep seem to know where the dog is without ever looking back.

They have peripheral vision of 320-340 degrees. Prey animal 😊

Thanks for the explanation, I love watching your dogs in action, they are magnificent. I enjoyed Echo rolling on his back, and he looks so clean. Thank you.

Thank you Sean for explaining the verbal and whistle commands that was a huge help in understanding these magnificent dogs.

Watching Echo rolling in the grass says he's not just a working dog, he's a playing dog too!

always love watching the intelligence of the best dog on the planet. I am on my fourth and just adore him.Echo is a beautiful baby ty for sharing this video I loved watching him

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.

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!!

Shear poetry in motion. It is fantastic to see a dog who thoroughly enjoys what it's doing ❤ and is so well trained.

Absolutely marvellous video, great explanation of how you and your dogs work the sheep. Thank you from Janet in Australia.

So fun to watch. You have a great relationship with your dog. ❤❤❤

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.☹️

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.

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.

It’s 6 months on and I had to watch this episode again. I forgot what some commands meant. Love the team . Give them a hug from me.

My favourite command Sean is “that’ll do” 😂

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.

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

“That’ll do it.”…is THAT why the farmer says that in the movie Babe? HOLY COW. I connected the dots after 20+ years. Never knew that was a command! Wow. Mind blown.

Exactly my first thought. I've been scrolling through the comment section far too long before finding someone mentioning 'That'll do, pig!' 😂😂

I always wondered if the commands were common to all herders. Thanks! I hope you, Stacey and the pups and sheep have a very happy Christmas. 🎄

Oh this is just a great video explaining how you train these dogs. Thanks for explaining it to us.

Thanks for the descriptions -- fun video!

My border collie Freya and myself have just subscribed to your channel we love it blessings to you and yours coming at you from Southern Oregon

I was a police K9 handler and trainer in my younger days, and let me just say you are an amazing handler with amazing dogs!!

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.

I can hear the sheep thinking (if they could😄🤗): "we were here just some minutes ago, when will they decide where we shall be?" Lovely dog🤩

I just like listening to your accent and looking at the scenery ❤

Very fascinating! I know we all like to watch and learn. Voice and whistles and I notice a Shepards crook, cool.

This is so fascinating. Why do I half expect the sheep to lay down on command. 😂

Omg….your dogs are amazing. Voice command AND whistle. I have failed as a dog owner with training. Love your dogs, the job they do and you as a sheep man

I love the wind noise. It adds to the ambiance of the clouds and green fields.

Merry Christmas Sean and Stacey. It's educational and entertaining watching the dogs work. It's also fun to watch the family gatherings and rest time at home.

I’m new to your channel, but I’ve trained dogs before, and I am amazed at your dogs’ abilities and the intensity with which they work. Thank you for the explanation of the commands. Merry Christmas to you and your family. ❤

SMART AND LOVELY DOG, WORKING HARD WITH THE SHEEPS

Все собаки хороши, в том числе беспородные, но бордер-колли - истинный бриллиант. Настоящие интеллектуалы :). Счастья и благополучия в новом году вам и вашим мохнатым друзьям.

Watching this dog and you working together just makes me smile. Good dog!

So nice to see a dog who is bred to do this just loving it! Amazing to see a working dog in action. He’s shining and loving what he does best!

Thanks for the tutorial. I'm American but my late Father was from County Angus. I raised sheep when I was a Bairn in the1960's Visiting my Scots relatives there my brother and I spent time working the gathering for the clippin'. Never got paid except food, Whisky and a place to sleep. After the clipping' my brother and I were shuffled off to the next relatives for more work on another farm. I would do it again. We raised Border Collies as well.

I have shown your videos to so many friends, they end up loving them as much as I do. Best Holiday wishes for you, Stacy, and awesome dogs❤ from California

The joy Echo has while doing what he loves is so cool!🐾❤️

woohoo! New upload of the sheepman, and my favorite working pups on the internet.

Amazing for as recent as the breed was developed. Thanks, Old Hemp!

These dogs are happy and so obedient. I could watch this all day.... amazing teamwork...

I'm living in Australia now, and I would agree. You do sound Australian when you give the lie down command. Your demonstration of the basic commands is brilliant. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. ❤

Agreed, his "lie down" sounds pure Aussie for some reason. His come by sounds like "come, boy" too.

Thank you. I’ve often wondered what the sounds meant and why sometimes you whistle and sometimes use your voice. Fabulous explanation. Thanks again.

I like your channel because of you and your dogs… love the team work

I’m a new subscriber so this was very cool to watch and learn. You should be very proud of yourself carry on such a beautiful old tradition in your country/culture. Looks like a nice life. I can tell you work very hard at what you do. Much respect ❤️🇺🇸

Wow, does it ever help a lot to think in terms of clockwise and counterclockwise instead of simply left and right -- what a difference that makes in my understanding! I feel like this information is automatically sinking into my psyche. This is amazing. Thank you.

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.

This is so interesting! It's not as complicated as is looks once you know what the commands mean. And the whistles being the same as the verbal commands was surprising. What a great trainer you must be!

Consistency is the key to training.🇬🇧🇬🇧

Oh my gosh, your Echo has matured magnificently! He is so locked into your voice and has such enthusiasm for his work. I love watching your dogs work just like my Pa loved watching his Brittany Spaniels work hunting quail. Thanks for the great video, Sean. G-d's blessings on you and yours.

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.

Good stuff, you have good clear diction, you cover the topics thoroughly and carefully, and you even come back and hit them again with it just to make sure.

I’m new to this channel and absolutely love it! Thanks for educating us!

It's such a thrill to watch the dogs work so well with your commands. They are incredible dog and I love watching your talent with call-outs. Keep up the amazing channel.

Echo is such a good boy. Sean's a good boy, too 😂

So sweet how the dogs just live for work to do!

Watching from Arizona USA👍🏼

Smartest dogs ever! Commands are always interesting! Amazing in every aspect! You can tell Eco loves his job.

Love, love, love all your videos! Thank you❤❤❤Michigan USA...blasted wind!!😅😅😅

the dogs run so fast how many years can a dog work. they are beautiful to watch. such smart dogs

If only more people were as hard working as these dogs! Love your videos!

Your dog and you are so amazing 🤩❣️❤ absolutely enjoy you working your sheep with your dog❣️You make it look so easy, and if of course it comes with experiance and training 😮😅❤

Sean is a God, transcending the breach between humans and canines to create communication beneficial to each species. When I win the lottery, he gets half.

Merry Christmas and prosperous new year to you, to your family.

Sean, Absolutely the best description of commands and whistles I have seen. Cape Cod owner of 2 BC's. All my best.

Give that beauty dog a huge hug and pat on head...he is so well behaved....Merry Christmas to all you and the doggies.....🎅🤶🐶🐶🐶🐶🌲

Great video Sean. Thanks for covering all the basic commands. It's just so interesting. Those sheep are gorgeous. Quite feisty wee souls too.

Thanks for explaining the whistle calls, too!

I just love watching the dogs work! I have a Chinook, but no sleds to pull in California. Hope to get to ancestral home Scotland, some day . Keep the videos comin'! Thanks

Absolutely fascinating once again! Reminds me of the movie "Babe" where he says "That'll do, pig" at the end. HAHA!

This is a wonderful teaching

God love him, Echo is a good boy and he loves to work. ❤ He’s a special pup😊

Thank you for this. I've watched your past videos and never knew what the commands meant, now I do! Just subscribed.

Very intelligent and articulate young man

This is my 3rd video and it answered questions I had about communication and the whistle commands. I've wondered about the whistle commands for years. Thank you for the video and information. Jennifer San Francisco Bay area USA

I think your black sheep herd knows your commands, too. 😊😂 love your happy and hard-working doggies🎉❤

Those sheep thinking "oh no, not this again" 😑

Thanks so much for teaching us. It's a process😊 Have a blessed week 💜 🙏 ✌️ ☃️ 🎶 🌞

I love Sean's accent... Gorgeous sheep and beautiful dogs... Love them.

👍 Gr8 job, beautiful animals & those pupster are lil workhorse' 👏

😮Wow ans wow again😮Astunned is little said : what ancient knowledge and today's practice can do 😅😊Once upon a time someone told me the most suitable dog for me would be a BC as compatible with my character .I had three GSDS fully content as I was , they adapted well for long walks and returning to a small apartment house. 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❤❤❤

Great explanation of commands and training. I enjoy your videos to witness how well your dogs respond and how talented a trainer you are. 🇨🇦

Thank you for teaching ME what is happening with your comma is relative to what you want the dog to do in relation to whee the sheep are/are going. I'll watch this a couple of times to put it in my brain!

Absolutely fascinating ! Love to watch these amazing dogs at work. They're priceless 💙💜💛💚❤🧡👍🥰

3:30 that was so awesome seeing how you work with your dog, really an awesome team, I can tell you guys get stuff done

Thanks for sharing I love to watch your beautiful dogs working with you:):)
