Sheepdog School How to train a Sheepdog - Secrets of a good stop with Flute.

Sheepdog School brings you a video on how to get a good stop with your sheepdog.
Flute is the youngster we have seen in an earlier videos on Sheepdog School's Patreon who was raised as a pet away from sheep.
She is around 9 months old and quite precocious. Here Emma gives us some top tips on getting a good stop. There is a lot of information in the video so it might be worth giving it a few watches or referring back to it as you go.

Wish I could have shown my dad this! He was very much the shouty, angry type when things weren’t going his way which was quite often. Very interesting. I guess another problem many will have is trying to train them while working them.

[@MorselOfBread]

She's like a magician with that dog!! very impressive.

[@DogTrainingBulledandSon]

Great and very helpful advice. I haven’t trained a herding dog since I left Yorkshire 40 years ago. But to this day utilise all the points you make here. Blocking is incorporated into many aspects of our early training. As is not educating a dog to ignore you, getting angry etc. Timing and picking your moments for control is critical. 👍 thumbs up from us

Absolutely brilliant...so easy to follow and understand. Very well explained. Thank you

[@davidcooke8002]

This couldn't have come at a better time, I'm exactly at this point training my first ever dog, and I think the dog is doing great. It's more me, but more practice like this and we'll be working together . Brilliant video Emma very clear. Thanks. 👍🏼🐑🐕

[@stephenkane4220]

Great video and easy to understand i must try that on my dogs. Thanks you Emma for the video and help

[@fishmut]

Loved your video , well explained , great tips for newbies as well as some old school farmers that still use force (scolding them terribly with the animal being punched or kicked the old school way or with the excessive use of electric collars to jolt them , yes sadly it still goes on , this video could definitely help trainers get better results having some patients for sure , education through videos like this is fantastic , great job .👍

[@johnx9318]

[@farrahf6234]

Thanks for the video! Do you also do this exercise with an older trained dog that has lost its stop over time / used to have a good stop?

[@briannugent7736]

Thanks! I'm hoping to teach my Chihuahua how to better herd our chickens 🐔 this was helpful!

[@lifestyleobedience]

I just told my granddaughter that we would teach the chihuahua, that we are hoping to get, to herd our chickens. 😊

She is quick😍

[@bobbybigboyyes]

Beautiful to watch Emma. Do the sheep get nervous with Flute running rings round them?

[@bobbybigboyyes]

@Emma Gray Thanks Emma. My mistake, I thought they looked nervous, but what do I know. You are the expert. 😊 It stands out a mile how much you love and care about animals, as I do myself. ❤I had a border collie when I was young, and when taking her out for walks across the common in Hertfordshire she would run rings around anything that moved. 😂She had such a wonderful nature like you do. 😇 Thanks for taking the time replying to me Emma! 😊Happy Tuesday! 😂 We have rain and storms at last here in Dorset thank God! 😁⛈🌧☔⛈💖

[@bobbybigboyyes]

@Emma Gray They sure are Emma, they've got more beans than Heinz! 😁🥰

[@lithiumgaurd]

How interesting that they learn a technical failure as inconsistency and opportunity

[@vincentgo3988]

We have a 9 month sheepdog collie and currently training her, problem is she grips and tries to attack the sheep, I have to keep her on a lead and a muzzle, because she ignores all commands that I taught her for the past 6 months as soon as she sees sheep. I tried putting some sheep in a pen with her out of the pen, getting her to stop she does that fine, but stopping the aggressivness towards the sheep and running into them to bite seems difficult, any suggestions?

[@zeffie100]

Isnt this very stressful for the sheep?

[@chrisgiokas4439]

These sheeps are getting some cardio 🤣

[@psdeas7530]

I don’t get any sound on your videos.

[@joshb4286]

Theres actually people out there that think this is animal abuse🤣🤣🤣 thats a happy dog!!!

[@zeffie100]

For the sheep maybe? just asking..

[@joshb4286]

@zeffie100 the relationship cattle dogs have with cattle is a beautiful thing. We've used dogs for centuries now to herd cattle and to keep them safe.

[@juliamarple3058]

Why do you keep saying ‘lie down’ when the dog is lying down ? :/

[@bordercollie1140]

Yeah ideally you should only give a command once, but I suppose whatever works for you.

[@KatrinaT]

It holds the dog and reminds them. She said she's not expecting a long stop from a young dog, so it helps them know what they should be doing.

[@mrganddrlove]

I'm getting dizzy watching Flute running in circles.

[@izzytheplantwitch]

Do it force free or dont bother. Lame

[@ross6343]

Flute reminds me of Meg...FAST and seems as aware...just saying. Anyhoo...very informative video Emma [and Ewan] - thanks for sharing! Cheers...
