Moll. 1,770 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Every single one of mine have fallen off the wagon once and i live on a sheep farm ....and they were stock broken intensively as youngsters. Sometimes i dont think it is a bad thing when they do you live on a sheep farm and cant break your dogs to them this site is classic some right idiots on here who dont have a clue how to handle working dogs Whatever @ Moll....

ftm 3,357 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) rabbits live in the same fields as sheep and i cant for the life of me think why i wouldnt lamp them or ferret them just walk ya dog through the sheep and at the 1st sign of any interest towards sheep give the dog a good old shake by the scruff and keep doing it till its got no interest unless you ask the rabbits to move into a more suitable field! i bet theres a few lads thinking [what] was he on about [not hunting rabbits in sheep fields] Edited January 2, 2012 by ftm Quote Link to post

iworkwhippets 12,574 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Instead of tryng to bolt the door after the horse has bolted, all you lads with young dogs in the maiking - go and see a sheep farmer in the next couple of months. They will be lambing soon - depending on when they tupped. We have lambs now, we always have some early ones, but then lamb through to March. On the hills they will be tupping around now, so lambing come April. Get a young dog and shut it in a sheep trailer with an old ewe that has lamb(s) at foot - she will be so protective over those lambs that she will take the dog on and sort it out. This is a well known sheep breaking method. I can walk my dog off the lead through a flock, and she comes in the lambing pens with me. Go and give your farmers a hand to shift the stock about, take the dog and use the time to both forge stronger friendships, rain your dogs and do some useful work on the farm. More bullshit, dog on lead, walk through livestock, 1st signs of any interest, sharp tug on lead with one simple command of NO, repeat until you are confident enough to let the dog off lead, job done, refresher course once a month , enjoy running your dogs amongst livestock Quote Link to post

I only posted this thread for attention to bolster my pathetic little ego anyway". i beg to differ of your perception of me, i have had a few dogs over the 35 years i have kept running dogs, i have had and sorted out problem dogs, if you knew me youd know that, but cos you dont , you fire insults, i am big enough for them , but my dogs are my life, probably forgot more than others have learnt, so dont patronise me, i'm trying to get to the bottom of this, he is a strong resilliant individual, so will need to be treat with a strong hand , the collar is only the last resort, den 2 Quote Link to post
RossM 8,119 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Den back to the beginning, I agree the shock collar is a cracking bit of kit, but lead on and take it from there, my old bitch used to chase black sheep for some reason and 2 or 3 scoldings/ acts of discipline solved that, dens been in the game for years no point in telling your granny how to sook eggs!!

Ideation 8,216 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Can't ever trust any dog to not touch stock 100% in every situation. Mistakes are made. 1 Quote Link to post
