Jolasveinn meets the sheep part 2

Jolasveinn successfully brought the sheep up from the lower pasture and held them at the gate until we could open it. It's a real good thing these dogs have a natural talent for this stuff because as a handler I'm not all that accomplished. For a 12 week old he did amazing! I just wish he'd do this well in obedience class, it's probably not exciting enough!!

As I am certain you heard in the video, Jolasveinn gave a "vocal correction" to the sheep when they got out of line. He discontinued vocalizing ( OK barking!) when they were all in the correct position. This breed can be a talkative one.
