Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 My pup has been in an around sheep from early on mate. Was fine until 10 to 12 months old was walking a hill and some sheep btoke out of cover and he went after them like bullet.... I chased him down and give him a going over. Regardless of what people say about not hitting a dog, it's not acceptable and after running round 10 minutes on a cold mountain if it had been a gun to hand I'd of shot the c**t myself ?.. After that I went religiously everyday round sheep. He was fine, but one day then some sheep broke from some over hanging trees and brambles... Usually rabbits bolt... But sheep did instead... Off he went again, but three shouts of no and he stopped... Whistled him in and praised him and left him off the lead and walked back through them. Fine he was. And has been up until now, I think sometimes you don't know exactly how hard to come down on them, I duno if it was 3/4grey and that dash of collie with herding instinct made it so difficult I don't know. Keep at it though, was a hard 2 or 3 months for me... But I hope it's worth all the hard work and he never does it again otherwise there will only be one outcome. All the best with it mate keep at it. 2 Quote Link to post

Daniel cain 45,480 Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Mrs just come back from the farm we keep the horses at, I gave them a lurcher bitch pup after the builder reversed over their old one... She's a funny sort and no trouble at all. Been in with the lambs since a pup.http://youtu.be/oZXepIH8Q8Y Quote Link to post
