Gentle?...no, but do they have a handle?...yes. Most of mine will let you pet them but don't really want you to however they will roll out when told come in when called get out when told and get in here when told and walk behind my horse like a cow dog. I like to leave pups running loose at the house to get a little bond tell them and let them learn there name. I feed in my trailer so they learn to load up when told and crack a whip at them when barking during the night or getting out of line they get to understand that the crack means uh oh and this is how I call my old dogs out of the woods.
X2 on everything but the horse, but I'm about to buy one of those too.
