chasing sheep

[Cold Ethyl 63]

I would use a shock collar as well if shes that bad or if you know a nice farmer get her in with a ewe with a lamb and shes get the picture.Kepp at it everyday with her and she should come round if not then it doesnt look good for her

do you know a farmer who has welsh rams the ones with big horns,stick him in a pen with half dozen of them leave him in there till he gets a right going over and i mean a bloody good hiding untill he is flat you may think the rams stand no chance but believe me they will kill your dog if you let them works most of the time. if not go for the shock collars set it at its highest you have to get the timeing of this method right.

get a long piece of rope attached to collar so when it start running at them it gets flat out and when its about to reach the end hold it tight so it gets a good shock do this everytime it will soon get sick!maybe cruel in some peoples eyes but its better than it getting stuck in to a farmers stock and then him shooting it.

I had a dog which started chasing sheep.My freind has some permission on a hill farm who have some very large rams with horns.We took the dog to the farm and with the farmer put the dog in with the ram.This has to be done with strick supervision to prevent the dog being injured.We only put the dog in once and it cured the problem.The dog never looked at sheep again.The dog was stockbroken as a pup but started to chase sheep when lamping.

this is direct to Edd_Wiltshire i am not the only one to use this method then you may be the one who has the stupid idea

 

I too would use the method as it works! A nice sized ram preferably without horns will soon make a dog think twice about even looking at a sheep again, the dog is clearly a nightmare around stock so i reckon a treatment or 2 from mr ram will work far better than a shock collar, or spending days walking through sheep correcting it.

It works and works bloody well. Best done with a 1/2 - 3/4 grown dog who has started after them and an angry ram.

Used that myself my friend put dog in with his ewe and lamb.She came out fine but never ever looked the road a sheep was on ever again.Tbh it does work its a bit cruel and very harsh but if the dogs that determined may be the only option

unfortunatley some dogs do have a liking for sheep. sometimes even if stock broken from a pup they can turn when see a lot of game. 2 ways i know that work is a muzzle on dog field of sheep and long line, depends character of dog wheather you have to use force and just a hard voice everytime goes for a sheep then you come down hard on him. or muzzle tie dog up and a ram and do it that way. both methods have worked but its how much effort you put in.

some blokes will agree some wont. thats your opinion so i dont want no arguments. goodluck mike

I disagree there. That's one thing that should be avoided once you have just got the dog. Imagine it if you were in the dogs situation and that you had just had a bad life previously and been in a dog kennels and then re-homed to a new person who is trying to build strong connections between him and the dog and then the owner puts it into a pen with a ram so it can get a leathering. I certinly don't think so! If you've just got the dog you should be trying to build strong bonds between you and the dog, not letting it get a leathering as the dog will loose all trust in you. There are ways of training dogs and I certainly do not think that is one that should be used!

Problem is the dog already has the taste for mutton. I agree with the others who say that either the collar or a pissed off ram being the only options. Problem with the collar is they are expensive and the timing must be perfect. The ram idea also has a possible drawback because, depending on the dog and the chosen ram, the dog MIGHT actually win, or at the very least learn what to do better the next time if the ram doesn't punish the dog as intended. And then you only have the last solution to the problem. Good luck, out of curiosity do you know the dogs breeding?
