stock proofing a terrier

[mouse 282]

if you cannot put the time in and break them to stock then dont bother keeping them.if mine were not stock broken then i would not have any permission.

[liamdelaney 2,587]

I throw them in to a small pen with a ewe with young lambs when possable.They dont like sheep after that.

[brenner 773]

can wheaten terriers(in general) be stock proofed if introduced at a young age or is that a silly question

[buster gonads 862]

Ive got a 9 week old Plummer and i let it run with my fowels while iam cleaning out and getting the eggs, its fine while iam watching it but as soon as you take your eye of it its got hold of one by the arse and they,r four times his size , wish i,d kept my big cock bird, that used to have a go at me, i,ll borrow one of a mate if i cant stop him, happy days.

I've had , bred and raised terriers for 30 years and , and some terriers you can trust and some you cant, i have every conceivable animal running around my place, geese ducks hens peafowl, goats, horses, and all my terries and lurchers are brought up around them, there are some terriers i could put in a 4x4 cage with any of the aforementioned and they wouldnt look at it , i have others that have been raised the same way and wouldnt trust them as far as i could throw them, the thing is knowing your dog, if its not steady with stock keep it on a lead till your gonna work it

i had a dog given that was around 14mth old and all it use to do was bark all time when it heard my poultry and just wanted to get to them when it saw any, one day he got out and jumped in a pen of some ducks i was fattening and killed the lot, i ended up getting hold of one of dead ducks and i leather d him with it, now he dare dent even look at any no more and now he's broken to them, think it would be quite hard with a sheep thou

I have 3 terriers at the moment: my 2 home bred mongrelly Russell things I would trust implicitly with my ferrets, and a black bitch. No way in a million years would I trust her with them, despite the fact that she's been face to face with the ferrets at home every day of her life. If she saw one running across the ground loose in front of her I know she'd kill it in the blink of an eye. She's just got that thing in her head: if it moves, it needs killing. She's fine with larger livestock, and funnily enough my chickens as well, but if it is furry, fox sized or smaller.......... then its dead. Wouldn't matter what I did to her, wouldn't make any difference. Like Coyotehunter says, its about knowing your dogs.

[POG 17]

keep dogs on lead and keep pulling them back an tell um no theyl soon get bored of being pulled back each time

it works sometimes

[GrCh 856]

anyone who needs to ask this question and claims to be a "dogman" very strange I think.

I used the same method with my old dog and ferrets.

[BORDERSCOT 3,816]

young dog not to difficult, old dog near on imposible.

 

with an older dog an electric collar does the trick!

 

Why does everybody think the electric collar is the magic training aid? Its usually the lazy mans excuse to avoid putting time in, and before anyone says anything i have had electric collars in my training bag since the 90's, they are invalule in certain situations but require experience and timing, if you dont have both you will make the problem ten times worse............

 

That just about sums electric collars up - a positive tool in the right hands. I have, however, seen them used as some form of sick entertainment!!!!!! Not big and not clever.
