Herding is the act of bringing individual animals together into a group, maintaining and moving the group from place to place or any combination of those.

Some breeds of dogs have instinctive herding abilities, used in agriculture to manage domesticated animals. The people whose occupation it is to herd or control animals often have herd added to the name of the animal they are herding to describe their occupation (shepherd, goatherd, cowherd). These -herds may use dogs to assist them and a competitive sport has developed in some countries where the combined skill of man and dog is tested and judged in a Trial.
