Stock Training


Recommended Posts

Had the whippet pup doing a bit of stock training this afternoon. The missus has been complaning that he trys to savage her orphan lambs when she goes to feed them, and she doesnt know what to do. I have explained to her what she needs to do but as most of us know if you need something doing right, do it yourself.

First meeting he did want to have a bit of a nibble but with a correction he settled him self down. It helps a lot with the lambs being hand reared there not flighty or scared of dogs for the most part so they dont excite him by running around.

 

Had him in among them after the initial meeting and he wasnt to fussed. He was to busy picking muck from the ground.

Then a couple decide to break off, and of coarse a chase ensued but i had fetched them from the feild into there little pen so it was quickly stopped.

He's not going to stop over night but we'll get there weather he likes it or not.

 

No lambs were harmed in the making of this.

Nice bold pup Blackdog,.. :yes:

Personally,..I like to see a tyke that has no fear of livestock,...they are invariably easier to school than flighty, nervy,.chasers,....in short, it is often a case of 'familiarity breeds contempt'....and a sensible Jukel soon twigs on that livestock, sheep. cattle, pigs and chucks,.ain't on the menu.... :thumbs:

You forgot cats though :D . Like cats or loathe 'em (and I like them) a dog that kills them can cause you no end of trouble.

spot on phil, we all train dogs to stock differnt, but i train them to be oblivious to them. i train, 1st on a lead, if they look just quick yank, once they not bothered with them, i go to 2nd part, where the dogs are trained with sit,says ect right by the sheep, and when all that going well, the last part is ball work (retrieving ) throwing the ball right by the flock. thedog will see few sheep move about but should just keep bringing the ball/ dummy back , the dog got find them (sheep) just boring things even if they move about . i never let any of my dogs get familiar with sheep, in the sense they could make contact with them, as said there oblivious to them, there of no interest to them.
