How Does Shepherding Work?

Shepherding is a SkyShepherd feature that guides your dog back if it ever goes out of bounds. It's on by default, but you can turn it off from the settings section of the pet panel in the SkyShepherd app.

Why would your dog be out of bounds in the first place? Well, it could happen if your dog's adrenaline goes sky-high. Maybe your dog sees a deer in the yard, or a squirrel runs across its path. Though rare, it could happen that your dog's adrenaline goes so high that it temporarily ignores collar feedback. Eventually your dog's adrenaline will lower, and your dog will start listening to feedback again. But if it's already out of bounds, what type of feedback should it get? Shepherding uses a combination of the same SkyShepherd feedback you've already trained your dog on, just presented in a dynamic way according to your dog's movement towards or away from the Safe Zone.
