How do you stop your puppy from herding you??!!

Quixote tries to herd me everytime I take her to the park out for a run. Whether shes on a leash or not, when we start running together she has got to find a way to run around in front of me and grab onto my pants, shoes or ankles. lol Ive never had a herding dog before, so im not really sure how to go about this to show her herding her mommy is a no noo. Eventually I would love to put her in herding classes when shes old enough.

I am not sure you can easily have it both ways. If you want to stop the herding just stop the minute she does it and very dramatically say NO. If you are consistent, she should get the idea pretty quick. I do not herd with mine so can not give you advice on future herding.
