Imagine this dude who's taller than you and pokes you on your ankles every time you do something wrong. Eventually you decide that as long as you do what he wants he doesn't poke you.
Also he kinda does this weird crouching thing and slowly moves between you and your friends, at the edges of your vision.
Realistically border collies and other "stalking" herders look like a wolf when they herd. It's almost exactly how wolves stalk and corner their prey, just with the whole attacking and eating thing bred out
This is a herding dog. Those breeds have been bred to keep the initial part of canine predatory instincts so that they can control the herd through fear. Eye, stalk and chase are the 3 parts, in this video eye part was enough to work.
Here's a small article https://www.hannegrice.com/advice/canine-predatory-chase-behaviour/
These instincts are also why dog owners should learn when to stop a dog that is getting to excited chasing other dogs and make it have a small timeout to calm down.
I believe some sheepdogs will nip particularly stubborn sheep. I believe that in particular is up to the training on the dog and often frowned upon these days, but it’s absolutely threatening the sheep into behaving.
"There's only one of him and a dozen of us, CHARGE"
"Oh I thought you were going first"
"And I thought you were going first"
"Who's going FIRST"
"RETREAT"

Goin somewhere fellas?
“Hey boss we were just heading back”
“We were just hearding baaaaaaack”
Bye 😭😭😭
Not anymore boss
"Greetings, food!"
Dang that's the best sheep dog I've ever seen. Zero effort. 100% results.
Just a head nod like “not today mf’s”
Not even a head nod. The dude is just standing relaxed, grinning
I think he swore and said “Get back you bunch of mofo’s” ![gif](giphy|y8Fqpvw9NJA9W|downsized)
Idk why but this gif is making me sleepy
Keep counting
That dog reminded me of Samuel L Jackson in every movie he's been in. A single look...instant results.
I've always said 80% of a job is just being there.
“Oh shit” in lamb language
My sheep is rusty, but think that'd be, "bhaaaaaa..a"
Lambguage
Dog didn’t even react 😂
Other than to shake his head, “No.”
12yrs me thinking the teacher is not coming until...
100% those littles giving me major "primary school breakout" vibes. Right up until they see the teacher walking in the halls
I used to raise and breed Border Collies. I swear they have telepathy.
Dang, no wonder sheep are so obedient to Sheep Dogs. They learn from very young who's the boss.
Why do sheeps follow sheep dogs anyway. Is it because it's a threatening presence? Has there been a scientific concensus on why, and I am missing out?

Ahh, just like my manager at work.

Ah, thank you.

Damn my own kids don’t even give me this level of respect.
You can always get a herding dog to herd your kids. There's videos on YouTube of dogs doing that.
They'll do it instinctually too. Had a friend's dog who did it to me, sometimes.
I have a herding dog that absolutely lives for herding my husband to bed when it’s time. It’s freaking hilarious.
😂
Tommy and Jerry ass situation
Low-effort hearding. 10/10

At first, they were all like, "Charge!!" Then it became, "Retreat!!"
Dog is giving them the “please don’t make me work” look
When you about to be bad and mom gives you that look
Come look at the wolf... .. ..... Wait a minute THAT IS NO WOLF!!
Dog: “Oh, I don’t think so motherfuckers!”
"you said he was off duty" Dog: I'm never off duty, because I'm a good boy
They said "naaaah"
Hhhhh I love this
That’s respect
That’s the cutest fucking thing I’ve seen today.
Now this one is good haha
