| COMMANDS "Away" / "Away to Me" = Move around (circle) the sheep in an anti-clockwise direction A is for Away - Anti-clockwise "Come-Bye" = Move around (circle) the sheep in a clockwise direction C is for Come-Bye - Clockwise "Get Back" / "Get Out" = The dog is too close, it must keep further out and give the sheep more room "In Here" = Move through a gap between sheep to separate them - when shedding. The dog will then be expected to drive one bunch of the separated sheep away "Lie Down" = Stop, lie down, slow down or just stand still - but often used to slow the dog down. Intelligent things Border Collies - good ones can usually tell which the handler means by the tone of voice "Look Back" = The dog must leave the sheep it's working and turn around to look for more sheep. An advanced "look back" can be done in such a way as to indicate to the dog which direction the new sheep are located "Stand" = Stand still - the dog must stop but remain on its feet - often used just to slow the dog's speed or get the dog to allow the sheep to go further ahead of it "Take Time" = The dog should slow down - usually used when the dog's likely to push the sheep too hard and therefore panic them "That'll do" = The dog must stop what it's doing and return directly to the handler "There" = Stop flanking (circling) and move straight towards the sheep "Walk Up" / "Walk On" = Move straight towards the sheep in a calm fashion without spooking them |
