herding terms??

Where can I find some of the words used when herding sheep? I think I saw a thread about this a while ago, but I can't seem to locate it.

Even a few terms would be great.

Thanks for asking this question Peg.
You've reminded me that I was wanting some more info re herding terms.
And also if anyone can recommend a good book for beginners.
I think it was me who posted before. Here is a list I got from my instructor when we started herding (back in 2001 - that's when I got the email!)

Here is a list from James:

come bye (or go bye)------------clockwise
away to me-------------counter clockwise
down -----is down
there--------stop and turn in to stock
walk up-----------walk straight on to the stock
out---------turn to the outside of the pen away from the stock
hit---------bite the nose
push (heel)---------bite the heels
stop------------- stop where you are
get through---------go between the stock and the fence
look back----------when the dog leaves one behind
stay------------don't move from that spot
watch gate---------don't let stock out of that pen

This should get you a good start.


I used to copy this out and tape it on the shed wall. We used to read and memorize during class!
Thanks Dawn! :high5:
Thank you Dawn that is exactly what I was looking for!
