Can I borrow your dogs to do my taxes next year? They're smarter than my accountant.

The best part about watching this fascinating video is how much Echo loves his job. He's really into it and you can tell he likes being an important part of the work.

Nothing better then watching a dog enjoy life ! These dogs absolutely love "working" beautiful to watch

I love Echo rolling on the grass in the background at 1:30

And the dog seems SO HAPPY to follow the commands! That's some fine training... and a wonderful dog.

It always amazes me how these dogs are like an extension of the shepherds hands and arms. They’re so efficient. And they love working.

Thank you Sean for the lesson on commands. Merry Christmas to you and your family including your precious dogs.

What gets me is how the sheep seem to know where the dog is without ever looking back.

You can tell the dogs love what they do. So fascinating and beautiful to see how Sean works his dogs.

You can tell Echo loves his work!

I’m amazed by Echo’s speed! He just flies 🪽🪽🪽

Watching Echo rolling in the grass says he's not just a working dog, he's a playing dog too!

Shear poetry in motion. It is fantastic to see a dog who thoroughly enjoys what it's doing ❤ and is so well trained.

I love that I stumbled onto your channel. I have Border Collies and herd with them " part time." I started almost 20 years ago. It is the most difficult thing I have ever done. I love the connection and partnership with my dogs. They have taught me so much. I am still blown away, and left speechless just being constantly amazed and humbled by them. My Kate turns 13 on January 2. The younger one, Cora is almost 4 yo. Thank you for your great videos. People need to see what these amaxing dogs were bred for. And yes, as you say, they love and live for their work.

Beautifully responsive dog.❤ I'm so envious of handlers who use that infernal little whistle. It looks so easy, but I wore out my mouth trying to master it and finally admitted defeat. I felt like I was embarrassing my dog with my spluttering and spitting.☹️

Sean……I cannot get enough of your videos!!! They are absolutely fascinating!!! Thank you so much and greetings from the 🇺🇸!!!!! 🐾💙🤍❤️🐾

My favourite command Sean is “that’ll do” 😂

Thank you Sean for explaining the verbal and whistle commands that was a huge help in understanding these magnificent dogs.

Thanks, Sean! I wish all dog owners would understand the importance of being able to stop and recall your dog. Too many people either never train their dogs properly or wait too late to start that training. My friend lost a beautiful black lab who would not come when called and was hit by a car. Proper training is a life essential for your dogs. Head scratches to all the pups and a happy Christmas to you and Stacey.

always love watching the intelligence of the best dog on the planet. I am on my fourth and just adore him.Echo is a beautiful baby ty for sharing this video I loved watching him

I saw your stuff in shorts. For 18yrs my best friend was Muttley a Kelpie X Dingo the colour of sand dunes in sunset. The energy he had & excitement for burning energy could never run out...even a day before his death from massive liver cancer he still wanted to go out. I had just finished security dog training the yr before I got him so I trained him in verbal & non verbal commands. He was my 1st dog & we went everywhere together & were only apart for 5 days in 18yrs. I would like to get another dog but I just can't.

“That’ll do it.”…is THAT why the farmer says that in the movie Babe? HOLY COW. I connected the dots after 20+ years. Never knew that was a command! Wow. Mind blown.

I have 2 Australian Shepherd dogs. One is calm, the other is dying to herd anything and just loves any instructions, any job, any way to please ♥️ So inspiring to see Echo at work. Hope to learn bits from you to keep her from driving the neighbor horses nuts.

Thanks for the explanation, I love watching your dogs in action, they are magnificent. I enjoyed Echo rolling on his back, and he looks so clean. Thank you.

This is so fascinating. Why do I half expect the sheep to lay down on command. 😂

Absolutely brilliant dog handling and let’s not forget the sheep. I could just hear them “ Oh here we go again Bessie, run to your right, now your left, I wish he’d make his mind up” 💕😂💕 Thank you as always, Alex in Florida

I always wondered if the commands were common to all herders. Thanks! I hope you, Stacey and the pups and sheep have a very happy Christmas. 🎄

I was a police K9 handler and trainer in my younger days, and let me just say you are an amazing handler with amazing dogs!!

Thank you for taking the time to produce this. We had a beautiful border collie named Roxie. She was one of the smartest dogs I have ever known. We had to be cautious with her around our granddaughters. She thought they were sheep and would try to nip and herd the kids.

I can hear the sheep thinking (if they could😄🤗): "we were here just some minutes ago, when will they decide where we shall be?" Lovely dog🤩

woohoo! New upload of the sheepman, and my favorite working pups on the internet.

These dogs are happy and so obedient. I could watch this all day.... amazing teamwork...

Thanks for the descriptions -- fun video!

Все собаки хороши, в том числе беспородные, но бордер-колли - истинный бриллиант. Настоящие интеллектуалы :). Счастья и благополучия в новом году вам и вашим мохнатым друзьям.

Merry Christmas Sean and Stacey. It's educational and entertaining watching the dogs work. It's also fun to watch the family gatherings and rest time at home.

So nice to see a dog who is bred to do this just loving it! Amazing to see a working dog in action. He’s shining and loving what he does best!

I’m new to your channel, but I’ve trained dogs before, and I am amazed at your dogs’ abilities and the intensity with which they work. Thank you for the explanation of the commands. Merry Christmas to you and your family. ❤

I have shown your videos to so many friends, they end up loving them as much as I do. Best Holiday wishes for you, Stacy, and awesome dogs❤ from California

I love the wind noise. It adds to the ambiance of the clouds and green fields.

Oh my gosh, your Echo has matured magnificently! He is so locked into your voice and has such enthusiasm for his work. I love watching your dogs work just like my Pa loved watching his Brittany Spaniels work hunting quail. Thanks for the great video, Sean. G-d's blessings on you and yours.

Sean, you've trained those dogs so well! They are so smart and obedient! Even when they are far afield, They'll hear you whistle or say a command and do it! Incredible Sean! I'm proud to be of Scottish heritage too! My ancestors were the Clough's and came over very early in our History. They fought against the English King during our Revolution! And they were here 130 years before that! They're listed as being amongst the original settlers of this 'New Nation on Earth. My great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grand fathers Josia, Daniel and John Clough, "Americanized" Clough, to Cluff. They are buried in the old cemetery in Salem, New Hampshire. I fear they must be spinning in their graves seeing what we've become! Ahhh....The hills are calling me back!...and the puppies too! God Bless Scotland!!

The joy Echo has while doing what he loves is so cool!🐾❤️

Amazing for as recent as the breed was developed. Thanks, Old Hemp!

I'm living in Australia now, and I would agree. You do sound Australian when you give the lie down command. Your demonstration of the basic commands is brilliant. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. ❤

This is so interesting! It's not as complicated as is looks once you know what the commands mean. And the whistles being the same as the verbal commands was surprising. What a great trainer you must be!

I had noticed that you sometimes say “that’ll do” when the dog isn’t finished working. I was confused by that, so I’m glad you explained it.

If only more people were as hard working as these dogs! Love your videos!

Thank you so much for this information. I appreciate you taking time to explain them to us “ newbies”! Love your channel and the dogs are awesome!👏 ❤

Smartest dogs ever! Commands are always interesting! Amazing in every aspect! You can tell Eco loves his job.

It’s 6 months on and I had to watch this episode again. I forgot what some commands meant. Love the team . Give them a hug from me.

I like your channel because of you and your dogs… love the team work

Echo is such a good boy. Sean's a good boy, too 😂

SMART AND LOVELY DOG, WORKING HARD WITH THE SHEEPS

So sweet how the dogs just live for work to do!

Absolutely marvellous video, great explanation of how you and your dogs work the sheep. Thank you from Janet in Australia.

So fun to watch. You have a great relationship with your dog. ❤❤❤

You need to give your hair a command, "Lie down." I do feel a little lost with the whistle commands, but you did say the dogs like them. So I'm happy for that. It is so much fun watching your dogs act to your commands. I love it! Also, I was laughing at the sheep. Sometimes it looked like they were also following your command. Merry Christmas Sean, Stacy, all the animals and the subscribers.

Your dog and you are so amazing 🤩❣️❤ absolutely enjoy you working your sheep with your dog❣️You make it look so easy, and if of course it comes with experiance and training 😮😅❤

Absolutely fascinating once again! Reminds me of the movie "Babe" where he says "That'll do, pig" at the end. HAHA!

Omg….your dogs are amazing. Voice command AND whistle. I have failed as a dog owner with training. Love your dogs, the job they do and you as a sheep man

Great explanation of commands and training. I enjoy your videos to witness how well your dogs respond and how talented a trainer you are. 🇨🇦

Love, love, love all your videos! Thank you❤❤❤Michigan USA...blasted wind!!😅😅😅

Great video Sean. Thanks for covering all the basic commands. It's just so interesting. Those sheep are gorgeous. Quite feisty wee souls too.

Sean, Absolutely the best description of commands and whistles I have seen. Cape Cod owner of 2 BC's. All my best.

Watching this dog and you working together just makes me smile. Good dog!

It's such a thrill to watch the dogs work so well with your commands. They are incredible dog and I love watching your talent with call-outs. Keep up the amazing channel.

My border collie Freya and myself have just subscribed to your channel we love it blessings to you and yours coming at you from Southern Oregon

God love him, Echo is a good boy and he loves to work. ❤ He’s a special pup😊

I think your black sheep herd knows your commands, too. 😊😂 love your happy and hard-working doggies🎉❤

This is my 3rd video and it answered questions I had about communication and the whistle commands. I've wondered about the whistle commands for years. Thank you for the video and information. Jennifer San Francisco Bay area USA

Have a wonderful Christmas Sean and Stacy and you beautiful fur babies! 🥂

Give that beauty dog a huge hug and pat on head...he is so well behaved....Merry Christmas to all you and the doggies.....🎅🤶🐶🐶🐶🐶🌲

👍 Gr8 job, beautiful animals & those pupster are lil workhorse' 👏

Very intelligent and articulate young man

What beautiful dogs (who have a great life, it appears) and what a beautiful place you live in!! (I watch your videos once in a while on facebook.)

Oh this is just a great video explaining how you train these dogs. Thanks for explaining it to us.

Windy hair! I wouldn’t be surprised if you find a few woolly hats arriving for you 😂

I love Sean's accent... Gorgeous sheep and beautiful dogs... Love them.

Thanks for the tutorial. I'm American but my late Father was from County Angus. I raised sheep when I was a Bairn in the1960's Visiting my Scots relatives there my brother and I spent time working the gathering for the clippin'. Never got paid except food, Whisky and a place to sleep. After the clipping' my brother and I were shuffled off to the next relatives for more work on another farm. I would do it again. We raised Border Collies as well.

Very fascinating! I know we all like to watch and learn. Voice and whistles and I notice a Shepards crook, cool.

I had a dog who I trained for one hour every single day for four months straight when I first got her. She loved learning new things. There came a time when once in a while I would think of the next command and she would execute it as I was still thinking it. I trained her to verbal as well as visual commands and I think she cued into my body language as well.

the dogs run so fast how many years can a dog work. they are beautiful to watch. such smart dogs

Merry Christmas and prosperous new year to you, to your family.

😮Wow ans wow again😮Astunned is little said : what ancient knowledge and today's practice can do 😅😊Once upon a time someone told me the most suitable dog for me would be a BC as compatible with my character .I had three GSDS fully content as I was , they adapted well for long walks and returning to a small apartment house. Also rescued and placed many of their kind in time.Now watching your comprehensive basic teachings makes me dream of an open space where despite of the strong wind I would RECALL them , the most intelligent treasure B.C❤❤❤

Thanks for explaining the whistle calls, too!

Echo did a great job of following your commands, Sean. He has learned well. I love Echo. Such a great BC. 🥰👍❤️

Merry Christmas 🎅 to Sean, Stacey. Kate, storm and Echo. ❤ Enjoy your videos.

Love love love your channel ! Echo just waiting for the next command while you are explaining to us common folks! Brings tears to my eyes. BTW, you have great hair 🙂

I just love watching the dogs work! I have a Chinook, but no sleds to pull in California. Hope to get to ancestral home Scotland, some day . Keep the videos comin'! Thanks

Those sheep thinking "oh no, not this again" 😑

Love watching you with your pups❣️🐾❣️ Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄

Wow, does it ever help a lot to think in terms of clockwise and counterclockwise instead of simply left and right -- what a difference that makes in my understanding! I feel like this information is automatically sinking into my psyche. This is amazing. Thank you.

Thanks so much for teaching us. It's a process😊 Have a blessed week 💜 🙏 ✌️ ☃️ 🎶 🌞

Thank you for teaching ME what is happening with your comma is relative to what you want the dog to do in relation to whee the sheep are/are going. I'll watch this a couple of times to put it in my brain!

And the sheep are thinking wtf? He's lost his marbles, Lol

These dogs are so cool……they love it, I love watching this stuff.

I love the sheep. Seems they liked performing, too!

Sean is a God, transcending the breach between humans and canines to create communication beneficial to each species. When I win the lottery, he gets half.

I love your dogs. The best dogs on KZfaq, for me. Many more of clips of your excellent dogs. Live long and prosper guys. 🖖🖖🖖🖖💕 Fan from 🇺🇸

Thank you so much for teaching about these commands. The different whistle. Écho loves his job. All of them do. Thank you!
