Ok. We get it. Border collies are eerily intelligent. But this video absolutely takes it to the next level! Just watch as trainer Chad Collins guides his pack to herd a flock of ducks through a series of complex obstacles using only a whistle to tell the dogs what to do.
Border Collies herding ducks through obstacles
Chad’s nieces Emma and Callie helped make some interesting obstacle challenges for Roy, Lass, and Celt to herd the (mostly) obedient ducks through. If you listen to the whistles, you can hear how each dog has his or her own whistle signals to respond too.
How cool is that?

Chad and his Quack Pack love to show off their skills at demonstrations, clinics, and events off the farm, too.

When not honing their skills or showing them off, Chad and the gang teach people and their dogs the secret to their herding and obedience skills.
What else can border collies do?
Well, of course, they can herd sheep (andfree-rangee turkeys). They can beat you at soccer. They can learn the name for every single toy in the house. But can they do taxes? That must be what’s next on the agenda for these black and white brainiacs.
