Two amazing border collies herding sheep 

The most incredible dog I ever owned was a border collie. I knew nothing of training, but he instinctively worked sheep following my hand signals. Watching him cut out a yearling ram from the small flock of about 50 sheep so a buyer could look at him was simply unreal: how he knew which ram I wanted is beyond me. The buyer said to me, "To hell with the ram, what'll you take for the dog?" The dog was with me until he died years later: there are no words to describe him.

My 2 year old Border Collie Winston thoroughly enjoyed watching this video with his feet up on the table in front of the big screen. He tries flanking the sheep as they get close to the edge of the screen. I never see him as intent as he is when watching herding videos.

We had a pet Border Collie who was not trained, but she was so smart. We had a small horse boarding business and she was so good with the horses. We allowed her to have total freedom on our 7 acres to come and go as she pleased and every morning she walked the entire perimeter never leaving our property. I still miss her after almost 40 years.😢

I can’t believe how much joy I received watching this. Thank you.

It’s like watching a movie with beautiful cinematography, beautiful music with a beautiful cast.❤❤

Lovely to see two intelligent working dogs performing tasks they were born to do. Beautifully trained!

The co-ordination between these two lovelies is appreciated. Great understanding in between, as a team. Taking leads one after another......

The most powerful dog breed ever

I was a first grade teacher and would have loved a Collie for getting the kiddos back inside when their outside time was over. 😆

Herding dogs like this fascinate me…they are so knowledgeable, agile, and focused. I was in Montana a few years ago when a group of cowboys was driving a large herd of cattle to a new pasture….and we were stopped on the highway as the herd was in our path. The dogs on command jumped off of the vehicles they were on, and moved that entire herd up and across the highway, and into their new grassland. It was amazing to watch those dogs…. They knew exactly where to go, what to do, and got the job done quickly. One of the cow men was riding his horse up the line of traffic and apologizing to the motorists for their delay. I told him no apology was necessary, and thanked him for the terrific show that the dogs put on for us.

It’s always a pleasure watching professionals at work!

It’s always so fascinating to see how completely distinct each dog is. From Echos youthful energy and drive (albeit sometimes appears quite stubborn) to how Kate is clearly experienced and knows a ton of what to do and even, at times, seems to say, “ chill, Sean, I got this…”… to storms and how calm and eager to please she is…

Absolutely exciting to watch true working dogs in action. Here in Australia there are too many of these dogs stuck in backyards not able to use their craft. I live in a rural area where I can see sheepdogs working cattle and sheep regularly. It raises up the hairs on my arms every time. Thank you for sharing your dogs, they are magnificent.

Well-trained sheep dogs with loving owners have a sheer sense of joy in their work. They adore it!

I had absolutely no idea how mesmerizing watching dogs herding sheep would be! It amazes me how one man and two dogs can maneuver a large number of sheep the way you do. Thank you for your channel. I’ve learned so much. I learned, along with how you tell the dogs what to do, that sheep run a lot! And that they follow each other, and get confused. It’s all just Wow! I love it all!

Wow, Storm comes across as so experienced in comparison to Kate's exuberance. Storm is quite content to lay down while Kate is moving the sheep and she isn't needed, or to slow down when the sheep require it. Kate comes across as thrilled to be out there and eager to please. They make a great team- I love watching how they work together without getting in each other's way!

I just came upon this video. I love watching well trained border collies doing what they were born to do, herding animals. Your Kate and Storm are such well trained dogs and did a great job.

I can watch your dogs work all day long. Amazing dogs and beautiful landscapes too!

there is something so cute about the little floppy bit of ear that bobs up and down on a border collie when it runs😍

Border collies are just very simply, the best dogs in the world. It's been my privilege to have had 2 in my life some years ago. Loyal, smart, mischievous, nosy, loopy, brilliant, brilliant bundles of intelligent energy. Still missed to this day but watching these videos is just a joy!! Thank you.

My grandfather gifted me a border collie when I was three years old. He would try to heard the neighbors dairy cows and such. Once pulled me out of an irrigation ditch that I had fallen into when I was 7. Never trained the animal not even a day, but was the most well behaved dog that I have ever had. I'm 66 years old now and still miss him. His name was Caesar.

It's so lovely to see your dogs working, I can't even imagine the training involved. Excellent video, thank you for your work in producing this.

Their eyes in that the thumbnail picture really show intensity and enjoyment. Herding does seem to give border collies maximal enjoyment. And when such a biological propensity is combined with a good and fair-minded pack leader, it's difficult to imagine a more happy dog.

brings a tear to the eye, such happy dogs

Collies are the most intelligent dogs, I have 1 who is reaching the end of his life at 15 years. He was never happier than herding chicks in my case. He will be sorely missed

These dogs are the most incredible of all the dog breeds, imo. So smart and agile, they are a joy to watch as they fulfill their purpose in life.

The camera on the dog was so cool. I love how agile and strong those dogs are. They crisscrossed!!

SO GREAT TO SEE DOGS DOING WHAT THEY LOVE TO DO!!!! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR TWO WONDERFUL GIRLS.

Great job.. a great life for you, the dogs, your wife. Lovely country. From Lincoln, Nebraska, USA.

It’s so artistic the way they make patterns around the lambs.

Their speed, agility, the way they work in tandem with you is simply amazing.

My only real-life exposure to sheepdogs was in the 80’s in Germany watching a shepherd commanding his German Shepherds to move a flock that was grazing on the American post I was at. It was amazing. I get a little bit teary-eyed watching dogs do the work they were bred for and love. I’m thankful I saw it in real-life at least once. Thank you for bringing back a wonderful memory.

This is awesome to sit here in a big city in middle of USA and watch sheep herding with these beautiful dogs at 330am. Love your dogs, so smart just waiting on your next order doing their job and loving it.

That was amazing. The Go Pro footage on the dog shows how incredibly hard they work, not to mention the super herding skills. The way they look back at you - waiting for a command. Beautiful, intelligent Doggos who want to work and please you. Fabulous filming.

Those are obviously the healthiest and happiest dogs ever.

Why am I crying watching this? Precious dogs so devoted and smart.

An absolute pleasure to watch 👍

This is amazing. The dogs are soooo intelligent and hard workers! Well done

what a perfect dog life, good health, purpose, room to run, friendship and love.❤❤ If only people would be satisfied with these gifts, what a better world 🌎. Thank you.

Immense sense of peace from watching sheeps getting herded. Love the collie camera angles... ear tips flopping 😍 Thank you for sharing a part of your day in the open pastures.

This video was SO much fun to watch....the enthusiasm, the skill....wow. Loved the camera on one of the dogs, being able to be right there w/her & seeing the ears flopping.... Man ! I love dogs. I never tire of watching border collies doing their job. These two look very happy. What a wonderful life they have !

Those dogs are a joy to watch- beautiful, fast, intelligent, so many words to describe them. Thank you for this video❤

Yup, the border collie loves their work, herding instinct is second nature to them. A marvellous breed of dog, and truly loveable. They're never happier than when they're running around , full of beans.

So beautiful and emotional to see the harmony between man, dog and sheep. Thank you so much.

It seems to my untrained eye that though they listen to your every word, being highly trained they know what they’re doing and the one sits down, he’s waiting to see what the sheep do before reacting. This saves energy too. They are so intelligent, it blows my mind! Beautiful to watch! Thank you. 💕👏💕👏💕

The pair together are absolutely amazing. Even by themselves probably just as.

An astounding example of cross species cooperation. It must take a lot of training and trust. I’m so impressed. Thank you for posting.

Always wonderful to see these smart, dedicated dogs doing their thing with the sheep! Enjoyed that! Thanks.

Pure joy to watch these two buddies working! 😃

So great to watch such happy and smart dogs, doing what they love to do!

What a delight! Thank you for sharing this with me. We city folk don’t get to see this much. Makes me appreciate the dog even more.

You provide me with a much appreciated break from urban life, love to see how you work with your dogs, doing important work that I think is underappreciated in our modern world - a truly existential pleasure, many heartfelt thanks!

It is just so brilliant to see dogs doing what they have been bred to do...but also that they LOVE to do. I was once told that collie dogs are so intelligent that they can become depressed if they are not mentally challenged enough...love this channel!!

It's exhilarating watching them do the work they are born and trained for. Such intelligence and awareness.

On my bucket list: to see these border collies herd sheep on a ranch like this IN PERSON! Poetry in motion. ❤❤❤ Love these dogs that were born to do this work that they love!

My great grandfather had sheep and the border collies up in the Highlands (Tain) - oh, I love these dogs, their intelligence and work ethic! Thank you for sharing!

At the end of his working career, I adopted a boarder collie from a farm. It was hilarious to watch him herd my wife's American Standard Poodle around the field at our home. The poodle had a good sense of humor about the whole thing.

What a joy to watch. I LOVE the camera on the dog! They are FAST and so instantly obedient! Ya gotta love them!

Lol the green tupp was a busy beaver!!! These two working together is a beautiful thing to watch! The way Storm stays behind and then becomes a guide at times is mindblowing!! Great video, Sean🤗

There is just something magical about the way these dogs work. ❤😎

I just love how they wait for your instructions. There’s so much trust there.

Absolutely beautiful. Everything from Kate and Storm, to the lambs, scenery, music, your prompts, yes. The harness shots give up close dogs view of what they see. Thank you for sharing!

What a wonderful, magical life for the dogs and also the sheep herder.

We love watching your border collies masterfully guiding and herding, even while keeping the quick moving a large herd through a complicated path. Great video! Love their constant vigil as well as they mind what you tell them, taking your calls and cues and translating them into controlling where you want the sheep.

I am just in awe of watching these dogs work! What a treat…many thanks!❤️❤️❤️

These dogs are absolutely amazing. Incredible what a sense of purpose they have. Thanks for sharing them with us!

I love the wisdom of the older dog working smart, and the younger one working hard!

Loved the dog cam shots.

I love how you love those babies(dogs) absolutely gorgeous animals. Perfect training and what a wonderful bond you have with your dogs and all your animals. Thank you so much for sharing your world with us

That’s what these extremely smart dogs were born to do! Awesome to see them put through their paces. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🥰🥰

Thanks for that! Just a beautiful thing to see. We have a border collie mix that my daughter rescued. Border collies don't like living as house dogs I can assure you, but it's a way better life she has now than with the previous owner who abused her. Every once in a while in her doggie dreams she'll desperately whine, shake, cry. . . I tried to wake her up when she does this, but l learned that it's just better to let her work out her dream, and then assure her that she's a good girl when she wakes up. Some people shouldn't be allowed to come within a mile of a dog! Oh well: Good girl Lena! My grand daughters are going to love your video when they come home.

Finally a video that just makes you feel good watching it. The dogs are incredible and obviously living their best lives; purpose, pride, excitement, and an amazing place to run! Your training skills are most impressive.

These border collies are so enjoyable to watch! It is wonderful to see a working breed working and enjoying it thoroughly!! Yes! It's great that Sean knows the personality of each dog and uses positive enforcement for them. The dogs know Sean so well! ❤

Sean, I’ve had a rough day of teaching 12-14 Agriculture. Thank you so much for this great video. You are living my dream. As a child, I always told my parents that I wanted to be a sheep herder in Montana. That’s a long way from Louisiana. I became an ag teacher instead and at 62 still teach my kids to shear sheep. I will share this with my classes tomorrow.

Absolutely beautiful to watch. What amazing dogs. My Australian Shepherd only has my young grand children to heard but he does a good job keeping them out of where they can’t be, thank you for sharing this 🙏🏻

We had a fabulous Old English Sheepdog when we were first married. She would herd ANYTHING that moved that came in numbers of two or more. Btw, she gave us 16 beautiful puppies in the only litter she ever had. And last, when we visited Alaska the sled dogs were equally enthusiastic about hard labor and remarkably intelligent. Love your dogs❤❤❤!

I’ve seen Border Collies in dog shows and doing things like catching freebees, but this the first time I’ve seen them actually working. It was truly amazing watching them do what they were bred to do……herd and move live stock. Fantastic!

Just loved this thank you. A dream to live in such stunning Scottish countryside with a few Border Collies…wow❤🐺🐺❤️

Is it just me or are those two beautiful collies having THE BEST fun??

Your dogs are so smart, SO fast, and an absolute joy to watch. And the ear flappage? Top notch.

What a great team, so much fun to watch! Thank you!

Simply wonderful dogs, filming and editing, all of it. You get 100%.

Border collies herding sheep---it just blows my mind the way the dogs almost mold the herd into the right shape to get them to go where they want them. They are pros for sure---poor Storm, with her snaggy harness, she knew what she wanted to do but couldn't do it. The most beautiful partnership of human & dog.

Well done Sean and your dogs. Thank you for the excellent video. A good weekend to all !

Love watching you three work together. Something to behold. Love your wee girls Kate & Storm. 🫠🫶🐑🐑🐑

Who says girls aren't tough? Love these bubbas🐶❤

Never ceases to thrill me wurst watching those dogs work. Such a beautiful, intelligent breed.

This is a master class on working collies. From the start they come off the ATV like they were shot out of a cannon then they get right to work...they never pamic the sheep and they move them so deftly and with such skill it blows my mind. The way they hold them in place at that fence break and at the gates is a thing of beauty. I tip my hat to you sir..those dogs are living there best life and the training you gave them shows through. Well done

Their eyes just beam with intellect and enthusiasm . Beautiful beings I love them.

I love the cross-over deployment they use each time the head towards the herd! It's like a dance!

This is beautiful to watch! The grace of them charging across the fields is stunning.

Brilliant, my Border Collie “Miss Winnie the Pooch” loves to watch your dogs work! It is beautiful to watch, thanks for sharing. 🐑 🐕🐾❤️

Boarder collies are totally amazing .My Dad had Black Lab Retrievers, which were awesome but these sheep dogs blow my mind. How they just love to do their job. AWESOME !!

I am amazed it went that well. Looked like a lot of work!

I've seen few things so amazing in 71 years. The music really helps the drama, too. God bless you for sharing.

That was tricky! Storm really understands the assignment 💕 Loved the doggie cam shame it got tangled in bushes. You should invent a doggie ear wig 😁. Thanks for sharing!

These beautiful dogs are Gods gift to farmers. They are so intelligent and loyal, not only working hard but they are so loving. I've been blessed to have had three gorgeous collies over my life time.❤❤❤

So interesting to watch. Your dogs are amazing and you handle them well. Loved seeing the dog POV footage.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Loved watching those beautiful dogs work. DESERVE A TREAT FOR THAT .

Amazing dogs ! Very well trained , you can tell they love what they do .
