Pup sheep :(

[J.DOG 1,355]

Right I'm really annoyed I've a pup here who I've had out around stock since 7 week old hrs brill of lead and never even bats an eye lid at sheep but he's now 6/7 month old and this morning I let him off in the fields we are in everyday and he headed straight for the sheep he grabbed the back end of one , I caught up to him and give him a thrashing he's never showed interest before and in gutted he's such a loverly pup looks like ill have to go back to basics with him I feel shit now

He is still young..

 

Hope you get it sorted fella..

 

Its frustrating I had one that turned its head to them after plenty of stock breaking work daily for 10 weeks old..

Cheers hopefully I can sort him out either way he's staying with me

 

How did your turn out did it go to pet home ?

No sorted it with shock collar..

 

But i did try over several weeks before going down that route.

 

This dog took a flogging and would pile back in, Straight away. It was just wagging its tail, dog was f*****g mental

 

Worst of it it knew it was wrong.. I had it to a point where it would walk to heal of the lead but was dying to wack one..

 

If it ran a rabbit and missed it would chase a sheep on the way back. Or jumping a gate it was just that bit in front it would take off on them..

 

To muck of a risk but the collar cured it 100% , it had me cracking up

Atleast you sorted it hope i can, i put him on lead and walked near the flock and he diddnt seem bothered but i know if he was off lead he'd have wanted another go ,have you still got the collar

Yeah still have it, bought a Sportdog collar..

 

only used it few times..

 

Kept it on for a while tho just in case but never used it again..

 

It really is water proof this same stupid dog went across a river wearing it for a swan never wanted to sap her in the water tho for safety reasons.

 

I really tried with mine for almost two months before I got the collar.. I even had a friend try the dog a few times.

It's at an age now where it knows it can run and it wants to chase!...some can be rectified from chasing them and then some can only be rectified by a trip to the vets or the landowners shotgun lol...hope everything turns out ok for you..Atb Andy

Total nightmare. Until my last dog I'd have blamed you but now I'm not so sure. All dogs are different, good luck

Sometimes the punishment is worth the crime. I had a sheep farm on my doorstep I walked for a year when I first got pup. She was fine up until around the same age, she chased sheep 3 times.never wanted to tackle 1 just enjoyed the chasing.twice it was a stubborn ewe who would not move from a gate. Each time she did it I really beat her, not that I advocate it but needed to be done. I did not leash her going through them just kept a constant verbal warning. After 3 lashings she never looked at them again.I was lucky as I spoke to the farm family almost daily and had an unspoken agreement, I told them each time she had chased them rather than somebody else grassing me up.I also made a point of reporting, newborn lambs or nackered ewes. Keeping the dog leashed just made her more wired when I finally let her off.hope you get sorted atb
