Herding

Herding dogs have a very strong prey drive and are some of the most intelligent dog breeds in the world. They can understand nonverbal cues from their owners and quickly learn new tasks. These dog breeds also love their owners and will be happy to work with them for hours on end if that means they get to enjoy some cuddles at the end of the day!

From guide dogs for visually impaired people or a pal to keep people with anxiety feeling relaxed, there is a dog for every issue a person can face. This dog can sense her handler's panic attack kicking in and instantly offers comfort and love.
