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.

 

 

he must be gutted i would be, maybe it was because he went away by this i mean the pack leader left and so the pack reorganized it self with the out come of livestocks on the menu i reckon they would never touch anything again while your mates there but when hes on holiday for a while the same would happen again

hello lads,i had a dog like that years ago,i remember he wasen,t a bad hare dog,but when in among sheep he would go totally mad leave his quarry for these,i bought him in at two years of age and watched him course and was happy with him,i never asked if he was stock broken,but found out the hard way,i tried for months trying to break him to sheep but no avail so i ended up selling him to a lurcher man that was big time into deer coursing with lurchers,i also found that when he would catch sheep he would,nt retrieve live to hand :D :D

with them electrick collers dont they only work when the dog barks ?

what you need is the remote shock coller , turn the juice up half way , muzzle the dog , let the dog run at the sheep , shout NO and shock the dog at the same time ........if the dog does not stop turn the juice up full and shock the dog again and shot NO ........continue this process for a few days on the trot and you should have a sheep sound dog ...........i've got a 5/8 3/8 bull x , and the above method is how i stock broke her .........good luck

Personally I would use a shock collar as a last resort,try a long rope and good chooker first,Shock collars are like all things good tools when used correctly and to the instructions with them,the collar should be on the dog a good week before you used,one outing wont do it,normally at least three depending on how persistent your dog is,first time you should shock second time use the noise first if that dont work shock again.If the training has work you should be able to walk through a field of sheep without the dog moving when the sheep move.

How well does your mate know the lad that ran the farm when he was away ? You can get some idiots that think its funny to set a dog on things , i caught a so called mate trying to set my dog on some cows once . I was lucky to come round the corner when i did and caught him, a bit later it would have been a different story like the dog getting blamed for something that wasnt his fault and PTS . Just a thought not saying it happened this way.

 

The other bloke is his uncle. I think Ferret15 has got the right idea about what happened.

Never broken a Lurcher to stock before now, already solid with our horse and is in the field off the lead with us, this week will hopefully be the start of the sheep training with the eventual goal being to walk amongst them off the lead.

This I have already done with our eldest Rottie be it six+ years ago and it is worth seeing peoples faces when you turn up with her off the lead with absolutely no interest in them at all Personally, I think it is down to how much time you commit to this one thing. I'd spend ages sitting with the Rottie in the field watching their behaviour etc and talking to her the whole time. She knows what sheep are and she would be in the tractor with me and I'd tell her there were sheep in the field and she'd have a look at them, I remember when they were lambing, she'd be awful, whining in the middle of the night, in the day she would lie down outside their sheds. One day she wouldn't come in from the field and in the end I had to go and look for her, she was sat on the boundary to next doors land, where there was a dead ewe, wouldn't leave it until I came to look.

Back to the Lurcher, sheep are in the next field to where I walk/run/train her, she has had a look and that's all, so this week, I'll walk her over to our other land (about 1 1/2 miles away) on the lead, then take her amongst them on the lead and go from there.

Something that is done here with a dog that shows some unhealthy intent towards sheep is to put them in a pen with a couple of rams.................Al :drink:
