Aside from the pig that movie is pretty accurate.
"That'll do" is a call off, recall and a "we're done" all in one. Common herding term.
I use another herding term "With me" as a casual heel. If they stay withing 3-4 ft of me on either side or in back of me that's all I'm wanting with that command.

I started using "with me" as a casual heel and I thought I made it up!! Apparently, I am not that clever! Someone beat me to it!! LOL!
Sheepdog people use "that'll do" a decent amount in everyday life. It's pretty much a "we're/you're done with this so leave it alone and move on/come with me" Because once it's taught to bring a dog off sheep it should work anywhere.
I may be wrong, but I think I read somewhere that Patricia Mc Connell put "That'll do, Luke, that'll do" on her beloved Luke's grave marker. What better words to lie over a working dog's grave?
She writes about Luke a lot in "For the Love of a Dog" and I think that's where I read it.

"There’s a stone I had made for Luke at the top of the hill road, where the pasture opens wide and the setting sun highlights the words carved into its face. “That'll do, Luke, that'll do.” The words are said to working dogs all over the world when the chores are done and the flock is settled: “That'll do dog, come home now, your work is done.” Luke's work is done too. He took my heart and ran with it, and he's running still, fast and strong, a piece of my heart bound up with his, forever."
