One of my friends strongly insists that whilst we are training our dogs we are also training our sheep !!! Perhaps try putting yourself outside the ring and getting the dog to come between the sheep and the fence ??? The sheep will soon learn that you are not the safety point and that the dog is in control !!! When we have a good Stop ! Ha!! All Good Fun !!!

"flummoxed" - good word. I'm no expert but isn't standing done still on all four feet rather than lying down? You're basically a pro, aren't ya. Brian's making me dizzy.
@thinkingabouttrainingadog2768 4 ай бұрын
@JessicaRH6 stand is what we want it to be. It's a sound that has no intrinsic meaning to our dogs. Stand to Sherpa means lie down. Stand to Menna means stop. Stand to Brad means stop standing to Ping means do whatever you want 😃

Great video !! I have been watching your videos since the beginning with Menna and yes it’s a difficult journey !! I have been lucky enough to get advice and a fair few bollickings from some of the best Handlers !! The one thing that they have in common is to always remind us that they have acquired the knowledge they have by making the same mistakes that we are making !!! Keep having fun !! Regards..

I'm a firm believer that the success of crate training is in the trainer / owner having the correct attitude towards it. The crate is not a prison cell or punishment block, it's the dogs safe space. Hilary, here 14 weeks old, will happily go into his bed and relax there, quietly on his own. When we're home the door remains open , throughout the night or when we go out we shut the door, it's all the same to him, it's his safe space not his secure unit.

Longline and a few well timed interruption’s. Also part exchange those sheep for some slower heavier and more confident Tups. She’s had her head for a bit now, and harassing the sheep to much, needs to have a little respect for them also. How you enjoying your career change? Best wishes Steve

Menna needs some positive encouragement when she does the right thing by the tone of your voice. She is bored just going around in circles and not working just eyeing them in a chase mode. She needs some flock work on at least 20 to 30 dog broke sheep, moving them from one pen to another pen. Intelligent dogs need encouragement and see a purpose in their work. Working bigger numbers will make her keep off and focus more. Lots of top handlers in the UK can provide you with sheep and training knowledge, better then I can. Try contacting Ricky Hutchinson or the ISDS.

As decoy i never liked the IPO sleeves. I prefer the soft sleeves gives a better sense of how the dog bites and with little tricks you can improve the bite more easily

I’ve found walking backwards through a small field allows the dog to take the sheep at your pace , have a bag of nuts and if the sheep are hungry and well dogged enough they’ll stick near your legs

Hi Edward I've taken on board what everyone in comments has suggested... (except totally removing the naff music, I quite like it lol)and I have given what I'm doing and how it was working or not a great deal of thought. My next plan is to figure out how to slow her down considerably. BUT realising my limitations my children have clubbed together for my 60th and bought me a sheepdog training weekend, which I'm looking forward to.

@@thinkingabouttrainingadog2768 Hello Dave, what great kids you have!!! One excercise that Paddy Fanning showed us when he came to give us a clinic in France is to put the dog and ourself outside the circle, walk back about 10 meters and then send the dog around the circle stopping him or her in all different places…. I have that found this really helps to get control of the dog which then automatically slows the dog down!!! It is also when we think about it the foundations of all herding work!! Being able to position the dog where we want it anywhere around the sheep without the dog always wanting to balance off us!! Give it a go !!! Regards Edward..

@@edwardmuir7806 thank you, great advice, I was thinking along similar lines myself. Keep the sheep safe and the dog away from them so she doesn't get too fizzy and keep stopping her which will ultimately slow her down, make her listen to her flank and stop commands better . Will put that into practice next week.... heat wave permitting. Thank you.

Menna is responding better to your commands and listening to you more. You are staying closer to the sheep and this is helping. Soon you will be able to walk backwards and she will bring the sheep to you. She will eventually learn her sides and develop a walk on. How is call off?
