Any advice on training prior to herding?

Participating in what the breed was originally bred for? This is where you want to be.

Work on your off leash recall mainly. We're starting herding training with Elli. I'm hoping to get some sheep this year for the wool since we finally have acreage.

Make sure you find a trainer that's used to working with upright dogs. GSDs, mals, and DSs herd differently than border collies and australian shepherds.
