Border Collies loop out and back naturally and would seem to be part of their herding instinct - you don't need to train them to do it at all. They also tend to range a fair way from their owner if not kept in check. Especially if they have a friend to chase or follow around like these do.
You need the shortcoat type for this as our one would finish the day with all the seed stuck in his own fur.
Border Collies can be easily taught to make broad sweeps left/right and circle back, so it's really the area around the trajectory of their master that gets covered.
