Well done Steve. Just bit of info on stock  breaking.what always did was same as you for years. But tried something  different with Buck my old 1x gsd xgrey. What I did was walk him round sheep , let him have look  etc, but just keep walking with out interracial  with them. What  it does  he see them wooly things as boring.  And look at them like edge  , gate etc. Things of no value  to him. They become   nothing to them, and it really works  deff. Was ok for long while, just killing  rabbits And foxes  no probBut when  dropped him on few deer, he did loose his head once, grabbed  sheep  one night, didn't kill it just  held  it down. Went up to him give him good hitting  he was  about 18 month  old at the time. Well from that night, he never ever touched a sheep again. And right up to when was 8 years old when stopped lamping. He was great lamp by any sheep, even if was other end of field  he never touched  them. I've had him run through  sheep  with a fox in his mouth coming back to me , so it deff works. All it is your not interacting  with them,  as something of intreast,  just have them boring  things  , and  he pick the same type thing as well. I got this of a ex raf dog handler that I knew,  a brill dog handler of 45 years,  trained,  bel mal, gsd, and the  odd Dutch shep, and them feckers  and Malaysia are head bangers, the gsd far better dog to train he always  told me.

That's  a good method  bird.

Horsey folk and gundog trainers have a saying along  the lines of 

" Make the  unusual into the usual."

In other words something tempting, alarming or distracting becomes part of the  common landscape and no longer prompts a reaction.
