trial herding

Duchess should be a natural herder but I wonder if she would be too aggressive, bite at the animals, and do them some damage. How is it possible to take a dog to try out it's ability at herding and still have the sheep not be injured? I know if she is chasing something Duchess is serious about it. I can't call her off.

We never had any problem, usually I have the leash on her in my yard. She has learned to live with my cat but outside she may not be as likely to stop when she catches our neighbors cat or another animal.
