[QUOTE="Ozhorse, post: 1049937, member: 18575"] I think sometimes the problem with stock dogs is that they are smarter than their owners (particularly border collies). I know my dogs NEVER get clockwise (left) and anticlockwise (right) mixed up - but I know my dogs know that I do. For that matter cows know when milking time is - mine know I have been feeding them Mondays but they dont have callenders or clocks. Blokes in lab coats dont know much about working closely with animals (and I have been a bloke in a lab coat). If you read scientific literature on horse training - then compare that with what really good horse trainers know - then the scientific literature seems childish and not even asking sensible questions. I think the emotional lives of animals are like ours in many ways. I have thought that even more since I started commercially farming only 7 years ago. Working dogs are great. I could not run my place without them. [/QUOTE]
