Is all I can say is good luck:) We tried everything to make those dogs stop herding. We have had 2 full blooded ones, and Grizzly is half, and just as bad as the full blooded ones were. I mean NOTHING makes them stop that I found. If you find a way to channel that to "on command" you have my deepest respect in your abilities to train dogs.

One of my full blooded ones finally did heeled a horse one time to many. Belle, kicked her (not the first time either), good and she was DRT. (dead right there). She was about 10 years old when it happened. Before that she had her cheek fractured, and had been knocked out cold several times. Our other one has had a broken leg, and her face stiched up. They are very hard headed stubbon dogs.

LOL! You can buy whistles! : D
There is a really great book out there, especially for training blue heelers etc. I won't mention the author again as he has the same name as a famous porn star! Very good book though and easy to follow. : )
Sally, our Australian shelpherd, herds the 3 basset hounds we have when they are running lose! She also herds the chickens and the children! LOL
