If you think about it, it's much more natural and obvious for any animal other than a human to understand the overall goal and act to accomplish it.

@@iabervon I'm not sure about that, but the sheep definitely have more experience avoiding Meg and the ATV than Tom has herding them.

Fine I will do it myself

The sheep hearded themselves, I think it was a sympathy deal between the dogs and sheep.

How long did y’all spend playing with the dog 🐶?

Awesome seeing you on Tom's channel! Greatest crossover ever!

Definitely !

Tom Scott: The real Chuck Norris?

Tom Scott IS "Surprisingly Competentman"

except Caving, but every other thing yes

"now that there's points, I'm going to win this" Tom 2018(ish?)

I agree, also vowel length and stress patterns were quite different, e.g. the 'oo' in 'lie doon' was quite short, but the following 'n' had a lot of stress on it.

It seems like Tom is really trying to mimic the tone, but just slips up and says it naturally. It must be hard to adjust to that.

I mean, your best bet would be to try and mimic the person, but mimicing someone in front of them is an extremely counter-human thing to do. Even with the "permission" it feels like mocking someone. Add on to that the fact that it takes a while to get a good impression going and his effort looks quite admirable.

A great analysis!!

@@DrZaius3141 Don't humans naturally mimic each others behavior patterns (speech, gestures) subconsciously? It's part of the group bonding instinct we have.

😂

"What would Meg do?"

Ahahahaha! Exactly! 😄

my exact thought 😂😂

I thought that, then also thought "I think this might actually be easier on a horse"

Well spotted! I didn’t even see that… 🫣

Nice!

Good catch. That is one amazing dog.

Yes

Just realized I have never commented on this channel wow

I should have worn a rain coat, but yes!

@@MKZ3003 now you have commented twice. Congrats!

@@iwinrar5207 🥳 yea the reason I said that is cause I watch all of Tom Scott’s videos, main channel and small channel and I’m surprised I haven’t commented on this channel. Yea.

Speech to text? My (Norwegian) dialect is so different from either written standard that I don’t even try, because it’s not going to get the grammar right.

Same problem for US Southern accent (mine) and voice recognition. I dare not go beyond the simplest voice commands to a computer/phone, and even then it's touch and go.

Reworded in this method: Tom parkours on his bike while on fire, to herd sheep in a cave. I can't place ice cream coherently in

@@ohiorizzler1434 after it's over, he treats himself with odd icecream.

And a cup of coffee

Before the ice cream, he has to out-joust a sentient roller coaster wielding pottery, which he must locate with an AirTag someone left on its seat.

Clever dog.

The real trick is to herd multiple cats.

But why no videoooo

@@Zraknul Herding cats is easy. It involves food, though.

@@sophierobinson2738 Yep. Cats can hear a can opener from anywhere in the house, even if the TV is on.

I did not know that was why they jump like that. Now I see it with gazelles and gnus. Thanks for the info. 🙂🐑🦓🐐🐅💗

"How do we show them we're friendly?" "IDK spam spacebar or something"

The word for this is 'stotting' and it's something you'll see a lot when you know to look for it.

Which turns out to be a loan from Proto-Germanic! Unrelated to either "lie" or "down", though.

It also sounds similar to the dutch city called Leiden

Pasture is probably not a coincidence as an afrikaans speaking person I couldn't even recognize it as lay down we have the words laai and dun meaning load and thin thats what I was hearing

@@splashafrica It probably is a coincidence, since Finnish has 0 relation to either English or Scottish, or in fact almost any language in the world besides some of the other virtually nonexistent ones from the same region

He's saying "lie doon"

Tom kept getting "Access denied" from Meg. Hilarious!

@@JustAnotherMe "You do realize that ACCESS... DENIED."

I don't work with actual herding dogs (I'm a dog trainer, but I do behavior stuff and general obedience and sports) but honestly, having a strong border collie listen to someone who didn't train them and doesn't have knowledge of the thing? It's awesome! Even I get impressed when someone else can get my dog (who loves people - many border collies are meh on new people) to do stuff. I think it's also validation of your training - you actually taught the cues you meant to and aren't accidentally doing something weird that your dog is keying off of (like when my dog didn't know "down" unless I move my chin down slightly as well!) For a lot of smart dogs, you really only are listened to if you're not a freaking idiot. And if you give them the wrong cue, you can end up getting your butt nipped!

@@BVoshol Isn't this dog much closer to an Australian Shepard/Blue Heeler? I didn't know Collies were herding dogs, that's so cool! (I just knew that they were the smartest breed and are energetic)

@@RhodokTribesman Collies are definitely shepherd dogs. Is the relationship between the collie and the Shetland sheepdog an example of island dwarfism? 😁

Pet collies have been known to herd children.

To be fair, that is an amazing dog.

👀👉Dominion (2018) ✌

And the dog being unimpressed by Tom.

Sheepdogs in action are quite worthy of amazement.

She’s the star of the show 🥰

👀👉Dominion (2018) ✌

the accent won't matter. this dog knows what it's doing and comeby or away in any accent would work really. it's more about energy (for lack of a better word) than pronunciation

We need a follow up of this vid with an Asian guy/gal or something to see how the dog will react.

@@zwenkwiel816 you’re right it’s not the accent it’s 100% the intonation, Tom’s commands rise in pitch whereas Cammy’s are more even

@@muhilan8540 doesn't really matter either, just look at 6:11

Tom: "Lie down? Away?" Dog: "Are you asking me or telling me?"

I'm amazed that someone like Tom, so into linguistics, didn't detect that it wasn't just words and tone, but that inflection too. When Cammy asks him to repeat something, the inflection just wasn't conveyed consistently.

@@andrewmunro8830 fair bet that he was just kind of overwhelmed with the completely new experience and didn't analyze it in such a way

I wonder how many of these videos could be combined. Herding sheep, on a bicycle, while on fire, doing parkour...

That's a beautiful analogy, and I shall be stealing it.

That makes so much sense.

Like some advance piece of tecnology, this dog is voiceprint locked!

Authentication error, wrong voice used Please try again... Authentication error, wrong voice used Please try again... Authentication failed, switching to similar voice Similar tone detected, using it Warning: voice not similar enough, command aborted

tbh I noticed every time Meg listened, it was almost always right after Cammy told him exactly what to say - and you already saw how good her hearing is

So was mine 🤣🤣

Yep! Mine perked up and looked around like wtf?!

Why? Do dogs just know the note means something?

@@NawidN I think it's just a noise they're not used to and get interested in as a result, maybe if there's something in the frequency range we can't hear that just doesn't happen normally that they just want to know more about or something, like a car screeching its tyres as it accelerates past for a human, we want to see where it is and maybe why it's doing that, but the dog might not think as much about the noise while having the same sort of reaction, although being a whistle, it's probably familiar enough to those who have had training in that way to think they should be doing something but not know what as it isn't following the pitch, etc of the commands they know. Some dogs do have built in instincts for things, Border Collies like in this video have a natural desire to chase livestock for example, some seem to recognise the sounds of distressed lambs or other animals, possibly from their hunting instincts as an injured or vulnerable (like a young lamb separated from the ewe) prey animal would make an easier meal to catch. Maybe the weird whistle note(s) replicates some kind of distressed animal?

My cat woke up from his nap because of it!

👀👉Dominion (2018) ✌

It's part of the work to avoid scattering them. See where Tom scattered them getting the 4 wheeler too close.

Sheep dogs are like that, especially Border Collies. They’ll quite happily run all day, and if they aren’t working dogs they need a lot of mental stimulation. They do really well as show dogs for that reason!

@@sdw9681 We had a neighbor who owned a Border Collie and two other dogs. The Collie spent all day herding the other dogs around, while staring all over the street keeping a lookout.

He's a great bloke, Cammy is. 👍

“Prompts” or “instructions” is definitely more accurate than “commands”.

Meg knows what to do.

Probably less straining on the human, too, when you can just be reasonably quiet and not put a lot of energy into emoting with the word. If I were designing a set of sounds I'm expected to make all day, I'd go for that too.

I don't see why not, since cattle farmers use horses.

I feel like that would work 99% of the time, but 1% the sheep would spook the horse, and the farmer would be laid up for months with broken bones.

You're the antagonist of the origin story of Little Bo Peep.

Oh, that’s where they went.

All videos done by Js* caption plus are like that, I recommend watching a few videos where Tom does pub games with three other people for some of the best captioning I've ever seen.

​@@mirjanbouma it seems a little ironic, the best captioning is done for pub games. I suppose especially helpful if one is joining in with their own libations?🍻 😉

👀👉Dominion (2018) ✌

Shepherd! We like to think of them in English as different from farmers or ranchers! 🙂

I did wonder about the whistle thing as soon as they mentioned it considering COVID etc. Having an engraved one as a souvenir was a lovely touch from the team (and also saved them some hygiene questions!)

same in the states. Guess Scotts are just different

Take my like and get out

👀👉Dominion (2018) ✌

ba-dum tsssh

I see what ewe did there 🤭

Yes, I was really impressed by that too. JS* caption plus always do such an excellent job.

🤣

Right?! Me too! I couldn't believe I was seeing Cammy on a Tom Scott video. Just brilliant!

I couldn’t believe it when his team emailed me! I thought it was a hoax as i’d been following him for ages 😅🤩🤩. Thanks guys!

Exactly my response! Two great channels, awesome to see a collab!

I think Cammy's friendly vibe is a factor too. I find the Scottish accent welcoming too, so that probably helps as well.

The sheep have _just enough_ brains to know that they don't want to be trapped.

I totally agree with you. You will never find sheep are where you put them.

So what I am hearing is all those Bible verses comparing the Creator's relationship with people as that of a shepherd with sheep... is not exactly a compliment to people.

Or as I believe Pratchett said, a bag of bones looking for new ways to die

@@dkecskes2199 there’s a reason sheeple is an insult to a person, and not only because sheep can be herded

On one of Cammy's Sheep Game, Meg helps out when they were training a younger dog Fern. It shows so well how Meg works. 🙂🐏🐑🐕🐕❤

@@westzed23 Link?

If it doesn't go well, the video doesn't end up on RU-vid?

👀👉Dominion (2018) ✌

it just finally felt like i wasnt alone lmfao

Find an appropriate youtuber and hook them them up!

Tom has talked about his skydiving experience (three jumps) on the Park Bench. The video is titled “Fear”

The sheep quite often hear the whistle and start running like there is a dog because the associate it with the dog 😃

Dairy girls know where the relief for their heavy udders are. Back home in Tasmania the girls just line up and walk themselves in (except for 1 or 2 stragglers).

Not only can they understand words, they can recognize the person saying it

And then, "Well done, Pig." 🥰🐑🐑🐏🐖

And 'That'll do' which means come back to the shepherds side.

Well said! 🙂🐏🐑🐏🐕❤

Allow me to bring attention to "Can you pet the dog?", obviously a very important criterion by which to choose video games.

Why would one have to ask anyway? It seems utterly bonkers to suggest that someone ought to ask for permission to speak in any particular way!

@@WhiteUnicorn82 it's not about needing to ask (I would've thought that was obvious from me literally saying respectful people like Tom don't have to ask) it's about being polite, and socially aware enough to have asked.

@@WhiteUnicorn82 Because a bad imitation, by default, comes off as mockery. It's not so much that you need permission, as that the act of asking for permission has become the standard way to indicate that, however bad your attempt may be, mockery is not the intended result. It's also a good way to gauge if the person you're asking is a moderately sane and reasonable human being or the sort to just go completely berserk at you over the slightest thing (the latter sort is far more likely to say 'no' and be mildly offended when you ask... which is a distinct improvement over screaming and trying to punch you in the face...) Or at least, that's how it seems to be to me.

@@WhiteUnicorn82 It's because the world as gone bonkers, i'm a Brummie who's worked in Scotland and my accent was mimicked (badly) on a daily bases, not just in Scotland but wherever i go in the UK, i don't care, you must have a very fragile ego if you get upset at someone copying your accent.
