Moving livestock is as much about patience as technique. A calm patient dog (and the handler) will move animals better than one that runs around berserk. The farmer should avoid running the livestock (which could cause injury or lower livestock productivity) or apply needless pressure or stress to the animals when herding. Watching dogs herding, whether it is at a herding trial or a neighbor farm, will provide valuable insight on how they practice the art of herding.
Below are many useful resources available on the web for people interested in learning more about herding.
