Footage of two sheep dogs trying their best to herd sheep, but apparently struggling to keep three naughty animals in check.

The video, filmed towards the end of last year in Ireland, shows the two border collies working hard to guide the herd toward the other end of a field.

However, three rogues seem determined not to do as they're told, so one of the dogs appears to keep tracking back.

The filmer later wrote online: "Was on an Ireland tour with CIE Tours International and one of the things we got to do was watch how sheep herding is done in Ireland.

"These are two border collies controlling a herd of sheep."
