A strong desire to come help is why I ended up with Peg; the shepherd who sold her to me said she wouldn’t stay put (would come close to help) when he was working on a sheep (shearing, trimming feet, etc). Her close presence had an undesirable effect on the sheep being held by the shepherd.
Took a lot of work but I was eventually able to get her to STAY when told. Now I need to train her grandson to STAY when told because he wants to come help.
I could see where that would be undesirable. Use to have a Collie (Strider) that would crawl under the car with me when I changed the oil. He kept far enough away to not get any oil on him.
