Prerequisite dog skills include a lie-down, and flanks. Numerous books and other resources cover such topics. For safety reasons, handler should have familiarity with stock behavior.

Safety recommendations: When sheep/stock are nearby and/or crowding handler, flex your knees. Slightly bent legs, avoiding tensing-up and locking knees, will help prevent injury. Do not position yourself in a gateway/gap where stock may jostle handler, and perhaps cause injury. Stand off to side of a passageway, using fence or other structure to protect yourself from collision with stock.
