Sheep dogs here means livestock protection dogs (NOT herding dogs) and that is exactly how they are trained. We’re doing that now with a new Karakachan puppy.
Had an Australian shepard that “Did NOT get it” when it came to horses. First kick – knocked his teeth out. Toward the end of his life, he got nailed in the head – knocked an eye loose – until the next kick knocked it clean out of his head. He stayed on the porch after that. Poor old Domino – barking door mat.

The herding instinct is strong in some breeds. We had to break our border collie out of the habit of trying to herd the grandchildren.
