1/2 inch alcathene pipe = education. 1 inch alcathene pipe = Further education. But i find shock collar best method. Each to their own

might be old method but get em out among stock from early age and often the prob dont arise,make sure the basics are in place early like whos in charge

Let them see stock,especially sheep,from an early age,pups like to investigate and chase anything new,or anything that runs,this is when you instill in them what is and is not chaseable,you will have to go through the same routine time and time again,when you are confident you have cracked it,then do it all again to be absolutely sure and keep giving refresher courses as the dog matures and develops.If you have the need to physically punish the dog,then you are doing it all wrong.

Walk them on lead near the farm animals and if they pull or react then give the lead a quick tug and say no. Get them used to it and as time passes let them get closer. Mine can walk in a field by anything without issue. Sometimes they lamp around horses if the rabbits are not near the horses. I can send them out on anything but they know better than going after livestock.

Put a long slip on the dog sneak up on a cow and tie the other end to it's tail hit coo on the arse with a jaggy stick and stand back

i think that if your pup is taken thru stock and not allowed to chase them and is checked by swift jerk of lead and change of tone in voice if it pulls at them done often enough should do the trick ive heard people say that you should put pup in with old ram and let it get knocked about by it and this suposed to do the trick but never tried that and would think that this might cause the pup to want to kill sheep even more

as a last resort then putting them in a pen with a sheep does work, best to do it with a ewe with lamp at foot as she is very protective over it. I did this with one of mine some 10yrs ago now, she was 2 or 3 at the time night mare for chasing sheep and cows, after a visit there with the sheep she never bothered again and still doesn't.

The second lurcher I had I got from a pup and took her in the field with the sheep and if she showed any interest in them at all give a quick jerk on the lead and a stearn 'no' and that did the job, far easier than the other method

In my opinion, Get back to basics and get a good recall , Using whatever method you need to , i.e. food,toy, treat or a squeaker , whatever flicks the switch on your dog. Get this solid as a rock and the work you put into that will reap loads of reward. Then long line them amongst stock . My experience is the carrot works better than the stick , and punishment can come in the form of just a firm voice. If your too heavy on the hand why would they want to come back to you . How many times have you seen a handler loosing the plot with the dog crawling up its own arze knowing what comes next
