Totally agree. Forget this tip toeing around the situation.... Your too late with the training part i.e what should have happened when it was a pup, now its down to the last stage saloon.... Short lead, walk through the sheep ever spare moment you've got till your sick of the sight of the f*****g things, forget about if the dog makes a lunge at them, if the c**t even looks at them, scruff of the neck, roar into his face, give him the fear of god, let him know your boss and sheep are a no no.... keep this up till he wont look at them, then some more..... I reckon after the summer is past, he'll be sound. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chartpolski 23,523 Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 I may have been a bit flippant with my reply.... but up here is sheep country and there's any amount of horses. A farmer will not hesitate to shoot a stock worrying dog, and none of us want a dead dog!! Go to the county fairs and shows, let the dog see sheep and even if she doesn't show interest, make her aware that stock is an absolute no - no !! Take her for walks thr'u National Trust land, on a lead !!, and let her see stock, but be hard on her, if she even looks at them, punish her !! I don't believe that once a dog has worried sheep or horses, it can ever be completely trusted, but best of luck !! Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jigsaw 11,863 Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 just one question,WHY DID YOU LEAVE IT TILL NOW TO TRY STOCK BREAKING? Was there a good reason for not doing it sooner like as you only aquired her of late or you were too busy at work?From 12 weeks on the pup should be in and out of stock on a regurlar basis.
