Lol I did it to myself on x6 and was real uncomfortable. 300metre range too. A mate of mine uses this type and really rates it 1 Quote Link to post

king 11,610 Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 if you do use a long line make sure its light and very strong nothing worse than it going ping on you in your moment of need. I was walking mine once back and forward by a flock as it was getting dark no issues all fine and dandy when all of a sudden he went full blast towards the sheep with a bout 30 metres of line on the floor. I was calling him every name going and not happy but i ran a yard or two in his direction so he didn't hurt him self when he hit the end. But the line went pop and he went straight through the sheep and took off after a fox that had entered the field the other side and I hadn't seen it. Poor dog was most confused when I got hold of him Lol I bet your face was a picture terry when it snapped Quote Link to post
roybo 2,873 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Just be careful with the cheap ones they go off easy in the pocket lol mine cost £50 with 3collars. Does the job you don't need them on 100% 20 or 30% is ample. Also if you are going to use one timing is everything ,and make sure the sheep aren't in lamb as you need to press just as they grab a mouth full,so will be stressful for the sheep 1 Quote Link to post

We had a hiccup that morning and a falling out so I couldn't let it rest so grabbed any old length of rope out the shed. When it snapped and he was heading full tilt at them it was a tad stressful then I was over the moon when I saw what he was actually after. Talk about ups and downs but you just got to plug away. I won't ever give up on him and I think we are well on our way now Quote Link to post

Is the dog just heading in the direction of the sheep not enough? Quote Link to post

roybo 2,873 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 They should associate biting a sheep with the pain,not you shouting ,"come back here you b*****d mutt" if they look likely to go let them run let them get a mouth to it and let it get the lot and hold it until they submit,but say nothing. Call them back in and put it on the lead and walk away . Repeat if it goes again on another day . Be careful they don't go off on a panic though and run in a road etc. Not pleasant for dog or the owner. Quote Link to post
