LOL, just let the dog do its thing. He is a border collie and this should come instinctively to him

That's basically what I do. Well, I make him do what his trainer yells at me to do, like if he gets in too close or something. If we're doing something new, his trainer does the handling.

The vet who neutered him gave me a big lecture on how it's dangerous to do with pet dogs. He's never been hurt working sheep. Meanwhile, I once had a ram somehow get him horn stuck in a belt loop on my jeans. This resulted in my tiny little self being dragged a bit while yelling "motherf**ker" and beating the thing with the stock stick.
