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.
That's for sure!
From the time he was a small pup through his different titles I always though I had absolute voice control over Thunder......till the first time he saw stock. His first official "That'll do" for his HT was flawless but I sure as hell worked for it.
BTW, we did it with marker training.
With Border Collies, "That'll do" is usually taught while the dog is on stock (and when it's taught ahead of time, it usually needs to be retaught on stock). the command is given and the dog is blocked access from the sheep. This can take a few minutes, but it's in a small area and the handler just keeps two steps ahead of the dog and blocks access to the stock, dog eventually yields (or if it's a super keen dog on a long line they're be reeled in) and as soon as they get back to the handler, they're allowed to go back to working the stock. So almost every time the command is given, the reward for obeying is stock work. Pretty powerful motivator for a young, keen BC and they usually learn quick that obeying quickly is the most rewarding option!
