Arla – Working the Sheep
Posted By Sandy Wilson on May 19, 2009
Arla loves to work our sheep. She is a wonderful worker who is calm and very focused when working. She is a bit exuberant right now because we are just starting to take the whole flock out to graze with new lambs who don’t know the rules yet. It’s always fun to watch the older adult sheep who know to stay in a certain area, but the lambs must learn too. It’s the job of the dog to teach them where they can go and where they can’t go. The sheep and lambs soon learn to respect the authority of the dog.

Arla needs very little verbal commands from me to work. It’s so quiet and peaceful to watch these dogs work on their own. No motivation is needed.
