freddybamboo 0 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Mind and praise when the dog starts to ignore the stock. Mine froze/coiled up ready to pop for them, when I got his attention again it was all praise. That helped. As soon as he started to get intersted again, it was punishment again. Timing is the most important thing. His drive is pretty strong so takes a bit to beat old mother nature. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BEARINATOR 2,871 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 If not a shock collar try tying a good length of rope to its collar and when it pulls yank it back like with recall training, but my friend had to retire his dog as it wouldn't leave the sheep alone Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Stick it in a pen with a pair of rams, best done when the dogs young though, (not too young) and ONLY if the dogs got previous round sheep..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottishlass 57 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 (edited) just as above for my dogs we find the meanest blackie tup/ram on the farm pen it in the shed and stick the dog in once its had a few head butts of the sheep it soon learns but have to keep an eye cause the ram can get rough.

cumbye 36 Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 if you get them out and about as pups amongst live stock you shouldnt have a problem if they still show an interest get them back on the lead and give them a good hiding with a thin whippy stick if they do it again youve not done it hard enough PAC shock collar,ive cured i few with them, or a goat,but be prepared to do some stitching Quote Link to post Share on other sites
