[QUOTE="tcolvin, post: 1850218, member: 42820"] I have the Australian shepherd, she has had no training except what I've done. I wish I could find a local trainer but can't find one. She wants to run to the head instead of from behind. She is some help but doesn't really know what I want her to do. I get her to go into pasture with me and we will walk around behind my cows and I'll tell her to push up and she will get after them and they move. I can tell her to stop and she does, when I tell her to come Lady come, she will return to me. I am now trying to get her to just "walk'em up " and she will walk behind them. Is she a trained cattle dog? NO, I need to do more work with her. The stop, stay, lay down and come, she has down pat. I just don't know how to get her to move them to the corral on her own. She is 3 years old this February and is smart as some human beings. She doesn't like anyone having contact with me or my wife, even my kids or grand kids. We are working on that now. She has learned to listen to my talking and responds to it by actions, such as me saying something like, I think I'll run to the store, or, I'm going to bed, or several other things she has picked up on. I can say "get on the mule", go to the red truck, stay on the porch or go to the porch and stay. She obeys and even if I say stay on the mule, she will, while I'm spraying weeds or just to go open gates to move cows. I wish I could find someone to help me train her because she is trainable. She comes in at night and watches westerns for a couple of hours and then she is ready to go back out to the back porch where she is a good watch dog. Australian Sherphard is definitely my choice. She is family and she doesn't consider her self as a dog. lol🐾 🐶 [/QUOTE]
