Chance tries Herding!
Who'd of thought you'd have to clicker train a border collie to herd! Well that's exactly what happened last week when I took Chance, my 3 year old BC down to Eugene to see what kind of instincts he had!
Showing some concern about the proximity of the sheep, our trainer suggested that we just sit in the pen and let Chance get used to them! I decided to see if I could get Chance to approach the sheep by clicking each step toward them
It didn't take long though for instinct to kick in and he was all over those sheep!
Watch for upcoming photos of our clicker training session and Chance's fun afternoon working with trainer Shannon Pfifer.

Luna tries to herd us in the backyard (and the cat inside) and I've wondered if her instincts would kick in around animals. She's such a small mini-aussie though, that she'd need miniature sheep to herd. :)
