Some breeds of dogs have been specifically bred to herd sheep for hundreds of years. A great many of today's modern breeds have some or a lot of that in them, because the first deliberately bred dogs were shepherd dogs. If you have one of those breeds, or a mix, the dog will instinctively try to herd. If the dog is not trained to herd they way you want it to, then it will herd any old way. If you don't want your dog to chase sheep, get a Shih-Tzu or some other poofy floofy breed, whose instincts have been watered down to eat, sleep, crap, bark at nothing and look cute. Other than that, you'll have to take an active role in training your dog (probably should have before now), which won't be an overnight miracle. It takes a lot of time, diligence, patience, and attention to develop communication with a dog. If the dog knows what you want, he will do it. If not, don't blame the dog.
