When my dog does something wrong, I tell him off in a stern voice and he puts his tail between his legs and skulks off and hides because he is ashamed of himself. He doesn't need physical discipline to teach him what he isn't allowed to do.
Plus, herding cows and sheep isn't discipline. It's using physical contact to move them to one place to another. This isn't discipline; you are not aiming to teach the cows and sheep a lesson.
