jimster68 123 Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 I posted a while ago that i was having trouble getting permission so i could stock break my pup. any how over the last few months ive been making regular trips to an urban farm where i can feed the sheep by hand and take the pup with me. but i am still unable to let my pup off around the sheep. at the moment he takes little interest in the sheep when i am feeding them and i am sure he wouldnt harm any if he was let off. so is there anybody out there who could help me out, i need to be able to let the dog off around stock but i cant get permission to take him on anybodys land. he is still very puppyish (nearly 8 months old)so he may try it on when first let off but i am 99% sure he wouldnt harm anything and it would be easily corrected. can anybody help!i have attached a couple of photos from my last trip to the urban farm cheers, Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

iworkwhippets 12,890 Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Are you actually allowed to walk amongst the sheep with your dog on a lead, if so as soon as your dog shows the slightest interest in them, then give a sharp tug on the lead with the command of No, when you feel that your dog isnt showing much interest, get in there without the lead, keep focused on your dog, he, she even looks at em, just say COME, JUST DO IT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimster68 123 Posted April 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 sorry meant to say i am based in leeds, but willing to travel within reason. at the urban farm in question you are not allowed to walk among the sheep. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BORDERSCOT 3,816 Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Just go find some sheep in a field out of the way somewhere and walk through, past and amongst them. Is it the end of the world if someone comes and asks what you are up to? If everything's under control no harm done. That's what I'd do. Go find some sheep, cattle etc. As the other poster said "Just do it" All the best mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
