When you say they aren't willing to communicate in their 2nd language, do you mean with their classmates or with the teacher? I think people who are multinational are more willing to speak in a 2nd language. "Multinational" being people who grew up with different nationalities; parents, TV, school etc.

The simple answer is don't let your kids "get wild" when playing with the dog.

It helps to teach your dog the word "no". You can train & confirm this by stopping your dog from taking a treat from your open palm by saying "no" (then reward from your other hand with a cue word, like "good"). Then say "no" whenever he nips and immediately stop playing. Completely ghost the dog for a few minutes before playing again.

At very least, train your kids not to squeal or make any high-pitched noises, or make any fast movements around the dog until it's fully trained. They're triggering prey mode and it's unfair to give the dog mixed signals like that. Don't "roughhouse" with a dog you don't trust 100%.

Do you think people in your line of work will ever resort to something like drones to herd livestock? Half a day to learn how to fly it vs months of training a talented dog.

I don't think it will because tradition.. but i wonder if it would be easier and cheaper for farmers
