The herding she does when we are out for a walk and she's off the lead!
She runs ahead, scouting, then doubles back to check, almost as if she is doing a head count! I hid behind a tree once and OH said her ears stood up, she noticed someone was missing and came back to look. She found me!

She will nip (not hurting) at the kids trouser legs if she thinks they're not moving quick enough, so I suppose she thinks of us as her flock!
The chasing cars thing, took clicker, ball, treats out this morning and they made no difference at all. It's like she goes into some sort of 'zone' and is completely oblivious to everything around her. She even ignored a big Lab sniffing her bum, whereas usually she strains on the lead to greet anyone and anything

. I'm taking a slightly quieter route tomorrow just to give my arm a rest. The 'heel' command is working well when there is no traffic about so I will carry on practicing and hope for the best!
