Help Needed Sheep Worrying..

[beast 1,884]

millet judging by the number of "my dog chases sheep, help me!" posts on here, you could make a few quid hiring that ewe out as a stockbreaker! nice to see your dog is so steady with them, obviously plenty of work been put in

WHAT WUD A BORDER COLLIE DO IN THAT POSITION...

 

Depends on what it was told to do, and it's temp. we used to have two, the one would just face the ewe/ram off, but didn't really have the minerals to bully it, he was a great herding dog, but more an eye dog i guess. The other would get in and shift it on command, and would pin and hold sheep if needed.

I would watch out for that as not a lot of dogs will tolerate that,..............that is waiting for a bad re action to happen ........

all a dog needs know is not to pay attention to sheep ............you keep taking the dog in the same field and letting it get charged by a ewe and sooner or later they dog will have enough ,...........put it this way if a dog can drive cows away ,...........it wouldn't take much for a dog to hold on too a sheep........

Shag the sheep infront of the dog and it will be to ebarssed to look at the dog again

Put a collar on the sheep, kill the dog and tie it to the collar.

Sheep will never chase dogs again.

Print of a photo of Malt and make into a mask and stick it on your dogs head........that sheep will be 6 fields away when it sees you coming....

I'm not daft mate and i am in full control of the situation.. ..she has been brought up from a young age in the lambing shed's...and that dog will snap at sheep and cow's if they get too close in the lambing barns where she has no escape..but in the field she treat's it as a game when the odd tup or ewe goes near her she know's fine well they have no hope of getting anywhere near her..any other time she will pay no attention what so ever toward's sheep..as she know's fine well they are not on the list..and the same goes for chicken's..
