I have no dog, so I taught Sally's son Willie to round up my two baby sheep at night. The girls all come running to the enclosed pen I put them in at sundown but the babies haven't figured out how to get in the pen without help. I tell Willie to "go get 'em" and he takes off like a pogo stick. He nose nudges them one at a time into the pen, and comes running over to me to get his reward.(food again). The only time he won't get them is if it's pouring rain.
I know it's not the words they understand, sheep will do almost anything for food. But it's pretty cool nonetheless.
