Lurcher Started Chasing Sheep

[steffan1991 0]

How about putting her in a small enclosure with a couple of sheep and if she looks even sideways at them give her a right shouting or even a clip. Might as well give her a wee clip and see if that works instead of pts. (I am not promoting hitting dogs by the way)

 

Somewhere you have full control and she can't attack the

ive walked her through aload of sheep and clipped her with a lead as soon as she looks, no good lol

If it's already killed a sheep. . . . I'd say your chances are pretty slim.

 

So you have a couple of options.

 

Pts

 

One last try with a collar, give her hell. A friend managed it.

 

If she is that good, and really worth it. Never let her off a lead near sheep. Ever.

My mate has a saluki grey. nightmare around sheep, always has been, no amount of training has stopped her doing it. So whenever hes around sheep shes on a lead. she walks calmly beside him on a lead, doesnt even look their way. But its as if as soon as the lead comes off, she thinks its game time if there is anything within the vicinity that she classes as 'fair game' she'll have it. sheep are the biggest she's gone for. fine with dogs, cracking on rabbits, even big fast ones So all he does is lead her up in a field with sheep.

 

provided you're not a sheep farmer or running permission in fields where sheep will be while your dog runs, no major issue in my opinion. if shes a good worker dont PTS.

 

shouldnt matter wether she is a good worker or not if she cant be trusted near sheep , she should be pts ... you never know when your going to bump into sheep while out, a place i have perm for the last 5yr as never had sheep on then one day there was half a dozen of the feckers looking at me, because the farmer had rented his field out to a friend

i think i will try and get a collar off someone for the weekend, dont think it will work but got to be worth a try

A farmer friend of mine had the same problem with a neighbours collie (pet), so he told the woman to bring it up and chucked it in a pen with a ram don't think the collie liked the outcome. All dogs go to heaven as they say.

ive 1 here a smashing dog at a hare but dont use him if theres sheep about simple.he run a hare through sheep n retrieve it but if he misses he go on anything .what are you to do get rid of a good dog .

the dog got to have that fear in its head , that a sheep will bring it a good hiding, and its as simple as that. its not being over the top with dog or brutal , it getting it in the dogs head, and once its there it should stay there , ok it don't hurt to keep letting see sheep mine do regular, but you got get it in its head what ever it takes, what its called is ( righteous fear )

If you can't trust it near sheep, find new areas to work her where there are no sheep. Simples

afraid it takes longer than the weekend to use a e collar but they do work you must and I mean must use a dummy collar for a week at least then use the collar after that its so the dog doesn't act up when the collar is off if ya do borrow a collar there should be a training DVD I would watch that 1st of all because shocking the dog willy nilly could make it have a hole other set of problems so its a must to do it correctly and it will do the job it did mine

May be she jealous off you with the sheep when your suppose to be out hunting with her.

that's what ive said on my thread , its got think sheep = pain , you got to its not being over the top you got no choice. but I think it could be to late as he said its nailed a sheep already, he wasn't hard enough with it in the 1st place, and this is the out come now
