Scarlett the Sheltie Herding Sheep

The opening scene is her first lesson with the sheep. As you can see from this short clip, she was chasing more than herding. The main video is of progress after five lessons. Quite a difference. Shelties have a different herding style than Border Collies. They are much more comfortable driving the herd away whereas Border Collies want to bring the sheep to you. Despite this, she does a decent job bringing them to me and is even starting to flank. I explain flanking and much more in the video. All in all, I have to say that the two of us first timers aren't doing too bad after five lessons.
