optimus 447 Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Get it in amongst them and preferably off the leash, if you go to most farmers doors and suggest that you be allowed to do this I can pretty much guess what the reply will be. Dusk or early morning is probably the best time to do it? Quote Link to post

runem 533 Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Brill lads that's great will defo try that when pups old enough A pup is never to young to break them to stock, Quote Link to post
Casso 1,261 Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 The thing about stock training is that when a pup is stimulated by sheep chickens whatever it is , The pup is energised to such an extent that he has to act , it's the state he's in that informs his actions , You don't need to slap the pup out of the state of attraction for the stock , you need to use that attraction to align with you , Having a tennis ball or tug item is ideal , get a Heel or a jump up on command , any or some sort of interaction with you , The principle is that , the energised dog has an outlet through you and can listen and take instruction while in that state of mind , its the ultimate in distraction training 3 Quote Link to post
foxbolter 447 Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Get it out amongst livestock as often as you can, in different situations.. sometimes just walking it through open fields with livestock just isnt enough. The dog has to realy get it into its head that sheep etc are a no go. There is a big difference between a field of sheep being ignored by a dog, than a single ewe that bursts out of bushes in front of a young dog out on the hill....... Pernod Quote Link to post
