Reverend Graham Sims, a multilingual clergyman, trains his sheepdogs to understand commands in various languages such as German, Arabic, Welsh, and French. During a sheepdog trial, he decided to try something unique by giving commands in different languages, which allowed each dog to obey individually. For amusement, he also trained them to react to the American National Anthem. One dog even understands multiple languages. Reverend Sims continues to study more languages to pass on to future sheepdogs.
