The dogs behind him are like “put me in coach!”

wow. im even more impressed by how the other dogs just stay and watch

If you ever visit Scotland, go see him in person! The afternoon we spent on his farm was one of the highlights of our 2018 trip!

I was there in April this year (2023). An amazing demonstration. After corralling the sheep, one was picked out for a shearing demonstration with manual shears. Neil invited us to try our hand with the shearing. There were about 10 volunteers. He guided their hand while they snipped away. This visit with Neil, his dogs and the sheep was the highlight of the 12-day tour. Afterwards we got to see the newly born lambs and puppies. What a life!

If you ever have any doubt that the border collie is the smartest dog ever created, this video will cement that idea permanently.

I had a border collie for 16 years and took him sheep herding. Winston knew what to do instinctively and watching him was some of the best days of my life.

Love how at the beginning all Other dogs are sitting there relaxed because they know it is not their turn yet Perfectly trained

Wow! That coordination! The dogs understand every signal, and I love how patiently they wait for his instructions! Thats so cool!

Neil is a superb dog trainer and human. My wife and I met him in the Summer of 2022 while on a tour of Britain. I wish we could have spent more time with him. A man of few words but immense depth.

Those dogs look so happy to be doing their work and watching each other do their thing!

To witness these brilliant dogs work as an extension of the Shepard is absolutely amazing!

I think it's amazing how much they LOVE this work. The dogs just absolutely LOVE this work.. .They LIVE for this. I've seen these dogs left to themselves and they just have way too much energy.

This is soooo cool! Truly mastership of connections between human and dog. These fluffy tails for sure having happy lifes.

After you train ONE dog, teaching the others is easier, because they learn from watching, and it’s an addiction to them. Thank you for sharing.

So amazing. This man whistled and my border collie was in my lap.

It’s so funny when he said ‘lie down’ to the herding dog and the other dogs watching all lay down 🤣

The skill is unbelievable

They're drilled like football players. And the Herder is the manager. So amazing!!

Bunch of good, happy doggo's. I love it. At the start, you could see the one asking whether it was his turn yet, and then patiently wait when the response was "not yet".

Scottish shepherds are highly intelligent. They'll stay in one spot forever, if you ask them too. As you can see, they're very happy to be around others like them, and again patient to learn.

When they are trained to isolate one (or more) paticular sheep from the rest of the flock is amazing skill.

A thing of beauty. I grew up around border collies, they really do love a challenge. They're at their best when they have a patient & kind human, & an energetic task they can come back to day after day.

This is actually what we called teamwork

Pups, after learning their basic commands on lead, can be started on ducks, moving from small enclosures to free range. Borders can handle cattle as well. Dog-broke cattleherds are so much easier to move. A friend had a top notched border that would jump up from the ground to behind his saddle seat to hitch a ride across big pastures. So much of their abilities are instinctual. Wonderful video and no, my US dogs were not nearly as well trained as his. thanks for the great video. at 74 i enjoyed it.

Amazing when you think of the hours spent training these beautiful dogs, but the sheep seem to know the drill as well! Great video!

I love how every dog is set ready to go at all times even if it’s not their time yet 👍👍

What a beautiful breed of dog. I was introduced to them when i married my farmer husband who used them on the farm for cattle and goats. They are wonderful and a loving breed around children.

Collies are a joy to own, they are so smart, They can be trained to bring you different toys from their toy box, or play flyball. My sweet girl wasn't the slightest interest in sheep, but loved to play ball and had all the children in the street throwing the ball for her

Oh man, that is so hilarious how the others sit there and watch. They are so smart. They know it is not their turn, so they wait. It is amazing and such fun to watch.

Smartest dogs on the planet live on Northern Scottish farms. Their skill, sharpness and work ethic is unbelievable. You'd think they were directly hooked to the sherpherds brain. Wonderful seeing them work 🥰

It’s incredible how each dog patiently waits its turn, but they obviously cannot wait to get their chance to herd. They love nothing more than herding.

Absolutely breathtaking intelligence of the dogs

Happy dogs living their best lives! Working breeds love to work and they certainly love their human.

All I can say is thank you for this, living alongside the Earth just as God intended is always refreshing and a beautiful sight to see. Greetings from Brazil

I can’t even get my dog to roll over! Lol this is awesome

These dogs are truly amazing. I hope the shepherd loves them. When, as a child, I went to sheepdog trials in the West Country, some of the shepherds were rather gruff with them. Mr. Shepherd: please love your dogs, they are so wonderful.

Fantastic work by an amazing team. My hats off to you, man and dogs.

Amazing coordination between all the dogs and the owner/trainer. It is clear to see that these dogs are happy doing what they are born to do and I'm so glad they have such a wonderful trainer to help them be their best dog/selves. WOW!!

We just saw this man's demonstration on our Scotland tour last week. Really impressive.

Border collies are highly intelligent and love to work. This is a brilliant display of their capabilities

Border collies are truly the upper echelon in the canine world

so fascinating to watch them work in a group, what a beautiful breed and intelligent minds!

These dogs listen better than any of my traditional classroom kkds🤣🤣🤣.

Immense respect for these dogs! It's great to see working dogs actually working. 👍👍

What's so impressive is not how they can follow instructions but how they know who is he talking to specifically.

Neil is amazing as well as his dogs. We loved his demonstration and explanations of his commands and dogs. We visited his farm in July of 2023. It was one of the top 5 highlights of our trip. His farm is an absolute must for a visit.❤❤❤

Absolutely insane. It's like he's directing a football team. Those dogs are incredible.

I had a border collie growing up in the States. She was an amazing dog. Died in my arms.

This breed is so smart. They seem to love what they do. They’ll herd multiples of anything including groups of kids waiting for the school bus.

Great work and great training. Miss seeing this at our local Scottish festival.

I have a border collie and I can attest that it is the smartest and most work driven dog I have ever owned in my 53 yrs.

I have a 14 month old border collie, he's never been trained for sheep work, but when I watch videos like this I see so many small similarities in the mannerisms of my own collie. A lot of it must be instinctual. I wish I knew a local farmer/shepherd I could pay for some training....I'm sure the dog would love it.

A thing of beauty! I love to watch any breed doing the job it was bred to do. This man and his dogs are amazing to watch work together as a team.

Just incredible. Amazing that these dogs are trained to that level.

Such a brilliant demonstration.

God, I wish I could go there to see this. I adore watching dogs do what they're bred to do. I had a Scottie and he was my favorite. He worked hard everyday.

The training of these smart dogs is amazing, thank you for showing us what they are capable of.

this need to be writen in stone on walls for the next humans who will live on earth, this is amazing

I just wish the audio was better as I'd love to properly hear the whistles and commands. Damn good training.

"It's natural it's simple." Thanks for the great video.

Each animal in the video is exceptionally gorgeous

So amazing 🤩 and what’s even better.. this gentleman is like it’s just the norm to have such control over all these dogs - especially when one or two are working and getting directions and the others are lying waiting brilliant to watch

It's an amazing display of not only control , but also cooperation & respect between man and dog . I rarely see this much respect between children and parents nowdays.Every time I'm in the shops ,there's always some whining child having a temper over sweets they can't have . Then the parents reward the tantrum by giving in to the temper .

Apart from their individual brilliance at their work I was astounded when they all worked together as a team. Awesome video!

That's an art even to give all the different commands to the different dogs

What ever it is, i love people with education skill and dedication for their work.

My uncle had a sheep dog. It used to try to herd me and my cousins when we were out.

The border collie is truly an amazing dog.

The Border collies where one of the 1st breeds to be domestically. And they certainly are Smart!!!

Respect to you man, keep up the good work! So good to watch.

I love watching these dogs, amazing

I have watched a lot of these types of videos but this guy finally explained how the whistles and commands work. Brilliant!

One of the most interesting things I have seen this year. Amazing work.

Unbelievably smart dogs, so impressive!

I'd swear these dogs are radio controlled, otherwise you would have to say they were conscious, aware and intelligent. Brilliant video.

This is amazing. Had no idea this kind of control was possible.

Truly amazing! They work as a team! So smart!

My uncle was John Jock Richardson who had the most famous sheepdog by the name Wiston Cap in the 60s

it's good to see dogs being worked. they are happy that way.

Collies are so quick and nimble they can run on top of a heard like its flat ground, they live to run.

This video is so fascinating. It's amazing. I have never seen anything like this before in my life. These dogs are so intelligent, WOW! They're like born to do this, they're so fast and do their job so well. Also the guy is totally awesome, he's like a master of sheepdog commanding.

This is an amazing video. Thanks for sharing your talent.

This is Incredible ! Thanks for sharing

Wow. Top of the food chain mate. Cheers to you and your dogs. Fantastic effort!

I talk to my dog just like that. Sometimes he wakes up, especially when I whistle.

That was amazing to watch, thank you for the share 🙏👍

Beautiful work

I’m so curious how each dog knows when a command is being giving to it, or another dog. So cool

Just wonderful how all work together!

Dude has separate voice for each of the dog. Impressive.

That was a beautiful thing to watch!

Stunning dog work, I am so impressed

Like a conductor with an orchestra.

Great skills sir. And your love for what God has given you providence over is clear to see. Truly a good shepherd!

We had a border collie as our large family dog for just over 18 years! She was the best friend/pet we had! She was so smart and loved us all! Great big family dogs!

This is absolutely incredible!!!

We had working collies at the horse barn I managed.. we had the little kids come on their school field trips to see the animals and the dogs always wanted to herd the kids into groups 🤣🤣

Very impressive training.

I love what he’s saying, the dog knows…my girl is 20 months old, we don’t herd sheep, but I’ve tweaked all her natural instincts to use in our city world…she creeps up on her ball and stares at it, freezing it as they do the sheep…she started showing this trait at 4 months old. When I can’t see a ball that’s out of her reach…and she needs me to get it, i ask her to show me, and then i say point, and she holds her gaze at the direction for me to look…she’s Lassie 4.0. Most intelligent dog I’ve ever had…and I’ve had some very smart dogs, this is another level.

Very impressive these dogs are exceptional.
