Herd Master
I recently received a Australian lab mix (sister in law movin) she four months old and shows some talent herding. She terrified of my birds so that out (ducks, geese and chickens) probably doesn't help they have babies and are extremely prptective right now. She was also introduced to some that dont but she won't go near them, she won't even go near the pens... She walk right up to the goats pen through. When I give her a command to get the goats back she does that. She needs lots of training as does the handler lol I trained other dogs for rescue and obedience but not herding so this is new to me. Keep her attention is also difficult she likes to do her own thing and my kids dont help she walk off and it can take multiple times giving the command to get her to preform it.
