My sister's now deceased border collie would try to control the foam on
the waves when they walked at the beach. She never tried to teach it
anything like that, but it's in their genes.

A freind of mine who also had a border collie that he only had given
basic training could just stand surprised and watch the dog rounding up
a flock of sheep which they accidentaly passed while walking.
