With our dogs, all we had to do was drop the tail gate. 30 seconds later all 5 of them would be in the back of the truck and ready for a run out to the hills. Once out in the hills they would take off. An hour or so later they would start coming back. Bringing the cattle with them. Thing is, it was open range, and the cattle were not ours.All of them were border collies. Herding instinct in them was strong. None were formally trained.
