[QUOTE="jbar, post: 483622, member: 2579"] the border collie should have some balance(stay on the other side of herd from you)the other two you will have to help. you can do this by using a rope or sorting stick.let them bunch the cattle you get on the side toward the pen or where ever you want to go.when a dog comes on your side throw some coils of rope at him or tap stick on ground and say get back or i say stay behind.theyll pick it up quick most of the time.i also use this command when leading making them stay behind me as i lead them. they learn it quick on lead and tranfer it to herd work. you do have a mix of working styles but if the dogs want to work cattle you can train them to be alot of help.the fetching is like this is my side of the herd you stay on your side. i know i can get more done with me and one green pup than with ten people trying to help. most people dont take my comands as good as my dogs do. :P :P (wife mosty) [/QUOTE]
