Before a young dog can work with animals, it must first be taught how to respond with the whistled instructions. Maurie's innovative method uses a wire attached to a fence to control the dog's direction while teaching the various whistled commands. Once the dog understands the. Instructions it can then be instructed with sheep out in the paddock. Using these methods, Maurie has a great reputation for taking on difficult dogs and turning them into valuable working sheepdogs in a very short time. Maurie resides near Cambridge in New Zealand.
This is a Heading Dog. Their natural working stance is a head down crouch. They've been nicknamed 'creepy crawly' dogs. Look at his tail. It's rigid and held in a 'ready' focused position. If he was as unhappy as his headdown position would have you believe, his tail would be between his legs. Go look up some videos of heading dogs working, and you'll understand.
Herding is instinct. You can't teach it. This is about having control of your dog and placing him where he needs to be to have maximum control and loose minium points in trials.

He clearly loves you. Playing this to my rescue seeing if there’s a response . But she’s stil. In her bed :)
Oh ok. I understand now. I'v never seen anyone use this way of training before with the fence. It's amazing the dog is happy to do this all day.
happy?
Well he doesn’t look unhappy.

Wait, how does this have anything to do with teaching him how to heard sheep. I'm just curious, I really want to know not being rude.
