I would have imagined that if you could spend a bit of time getting up close with sheep with the dog on a tight lead...then with a bit of love and correction........anything could be achieved...

 

some recon an old dog cant learn new tricks..........and sometimes the bad behaviour is very deep rooted...I think that with enough time and determination anything can be achieved........world peace...save the whales.....no more starving kids

I know of a dog passed on to another owner free because of its bad habit of being unsteady with sheep, then it was handled and ran properly by its new owner and never touched a sheep again. It could be frustration and or previous bad handling!

i had problems with a few dogs as well... some learned to do it when i was out of sight while others stopped and all was well again... definately worth a try he looks a real nice one mate

you need to spend loads of time in with sheep and dont tell the dog of if it reacts negatively ignore it (if you show any attention good or bad when he is set on the sheep he will think that this is what you expect of him) just as short firm tug on the leash to get his attention back on you. dont speak to him and ignore any barking or wining as if you shout he will just think you are barking too.

when the dog is calm and settled then make a fuss of the dog (favorite toy ,treat pat and lots of good boy stuff) you will have to do this a few times and when you do think he is good enough to take the leash of maybe muzzle him first just in case and make sure you have permission just in case

Put the dog on a long rope. Take the dog in amongst sheep. When he runs at them let him run at full pelt. When he gets to the end of the rope he will brought to a standstill very abruptly. At the same time roar NO at him.

After a while he might suss he's got the rope on and be good as gold until he's running free and revert to his old ways. In that case let him run with the rope trailing after him. As soon as he runs after sheep run after the rope and tread on it. Again he will be brought to an abrupt stop , he will also think you can control him even when you are not holding the rope. Failing that-shock collar. Failing that a touch of lead behind the ears.

Just spoken to a mate of mine who's come back from two weeks holiday to find that his two pig dogs have been into one of his potty calves. Now these dogs are broken to everything and share a farm yard with chickens, turkeys, sheep and cows. They were born there and have co-existed peacefully for years. Another bloke came in to run the farm while my mate was on holiday and once he'd gone the dogs got stuck in. My mate is gutted as he would have staked his life on those dogs being 100% broken but it just goes to show. He said that now they've done this he can't look at them the same way and he was lucky the calf was one of his and not a neighbours. The dogs will not see the week out.
