I took one of my young girls herding last year, she did start to herd them
around, but would look back to see what I was doing all the time. The
trainer said your dog is too into you to concentrate on the sheep!! So she
suggested I herd the sheep to show my girl what to do and she would catch on.
I
did do this and then all of a sudden one of the younger sheep passed out,
YIKES I was terrified I gave the poor thing a heart attack. The trainer
said "SHEEP FAINT" when they get stressed, she picked it up and put it back in
the corral and it woke up!! I could not believe this, we learn something
new everyday <bg> !! My girl did continue to herd the rest if the sheep
without my assistance and no more sheep fainting!!
