#FarmDogFriday: The Quack Pack USA’s Border Collies Help Farmers and Livestock Thrive

Chad Collin, founder of The Quack Pack USA, joined us on Friday’s Market Day Report to share his expertise in training Border Collies to serve as indispensable farm and ranch dogs.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (RFD-TV)Farm dogs play an invaluable role on operations across the country, assisting with daily chores and providing loyal companionship. Among those who understand this better than most is Chad Collins, a professional Border Collie handler who has devoted his life to training these intelligent and hardworking dogs.

As the founder of The Quack Pack USA, Collins combines his expertise with a passion for the animals he trains, ensuring both the dogs and the livestock thrive.

Collins works with sheep, cattle, and even ducks, helping farmers and ranchers get the most out of their herding dogs. Over the years, he has trained thousands of dogs and collaborated with countless farmers across rural America. His work highlights the critical role well-trained farm dogs play in modern agriculture — from managing herds efficiently to supporting farmers’ daily operations.
