  16. Thanks, the dog is, the bitch is proving more difficult - she gets very very focused on them as the move around and its can be difficult to break that focus. Getting there though Ok a tip from me that worked for the stock training of my dogs, which im sure you will appreciate if you work your dogs, and was the first thing i did when they were pups, 1 dog at a time, take him her to where there is livestock, bearing in mind there is lots of lambs about now so be carefull and thoughtfull , now as soon as your dog shows interest and this is where you have to be able to read your dogs mind,
