Oh, the only other thing I would add...

"trying to prevent trauma" and "will be fine once he gets swatted"

It's more like you are trying to prevent nature, so rather than swatting, I would suggest looking up TRAINING border collies and teach him some "off" or "release" commands. It's his nature to herd, so as long as you can teach him when to stop, you should be ok.
