Its always a real pleasure to watch great dogs work and even more to watch the owners having patience when teaching there dogs how to work I love working with dogs but theres some things im not sure id know how to teach a dog and this is one of them which is why i love watching how its done id say first hand youd have to teach the basics before introducing them to the livestock.

Great video. I admire your mannerisms and body language working with cowdogs. Hate to hear a handler yelling at a dog. If they don't know the command at a low voice, they won't listen to a constant yell. Thanks for sharing.

oldsagerat I used to have stubborn hard headed kelpies but I once got the softest bidder collie who would get offended if I worked in his direction to push him out. He was a fantastic dog who taught me a lot and I realised how much better the results are when you whistle instead of yell. Even for my Kelpies.

This is not how the real world cattle sorting goes. The cattle here is used to sorting . Thumbs down waste of time.

You have a point, maybe, but this is intended to show a step in straining as part of a series of videos. You are watching the real world my friend. Cattle can be handled many different ways, some right, some not so right. The idea is to handle cattle in a slow methodical manner so that they keep most of their weight between field and truck. Low stress cattle management saves weight loss which means more money. They are sold by the pound. This is a working cattle ranch.
