bird 9,944 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 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 Yes the rope, say 15feet rope, then get close if it makes a move lift the fecker right of its feet, with LEAVE. It does work, you have got to do it every day and night. From a 40lb to a 80lb dog get your timing right, and you will lift it right of its feet BIRD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hunting Lad 50 Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Got this problem myself at the minute. Got nice well bred saluki/lurcher off a lad was ment to be stock broken, First time I had her out around sheep she ran straight up to them. Obviously they ran off she then chased but didnt try and grab them it was like she wanted to play with them more then anything. She is just gone 12 months now a really nice dog well behaved this is the problem I got with her training now so going to have to come up with a solution myself. If I couldnt break myself I would be looking at getting someone else in to do the job. Anybody know of any trainer who do stock breaking Regards Ben Wright Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeh I will give it a try mate. Just going to get her in and around them and whenever she take any interest in them just give her a lil slap and a tellinf off. hopefully that will work and wont have to take it any further. How much would you have her in and around the stock and how often ? Regards Ben. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
