Says she really likes your boy, Scout isnt it? I remeber Fiona ...I had no idea she is now family. Get her to give me a call ....we may have to organise a bus from Frankston. Yes, it is Scout and she saw him on a day that he was at his worst...I was offered a very good price for him that day and started thinking about it bacause he was such a rat bag. Scooter pups are pretty tough dogs...I hope the rotty will be okay Tell her if the pup grows up like his father or Scout she will have a very loyal, honest working, reliable dog that loves to jump.

jesomil Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Hi, Are the training days just for beginners who have never seen sheep before? We are city slickers but have done a bit of work. I would love to have somewhere closer to play as we normally drive hours. We are definately not pro's but are confident with the basics. Thanks.

herding_guy Posted September 3, 2005 Author Share Posted September 3, 2005 Are the training days just for beginners who have never seen sheep before? No, it's not only for beginners. In fact I think people with a bit of experience will benefit as you guys knw what you need to work on and can use the day appropriately. My intention is to get everyone up to knowing what commands are needed on the dog and how to position the dog / handler / sheep. The first section is all about bringing out the natural instincts of the dog. Then how to put commands on the dog. I will also go through stock sense - and for you more experienced handlers, distance control. If you would like to start using the grounds and sheep to practice, which you are most welcome to, you will need to do at least a one day workkshop so I can ensure the safety of the sheep, your dog and you. Contact me on e-mail [email protected] if you need more information. Cheers, David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, 14 weeks is a great age to introduce to safe sheep. As this is a critical time in the socialisation period this is where you can make or break a dog. My dogs have been introduced to sheep at the age of 6 weeks, some get in there nd start covering and balancing like they were doing it for years and some run away. It's up to you what you want to do. Remember I do also hold private lessons for people and if you wnt to just come out and socialise the dog to sheep thats okay too. Don't leave it to late though. I do have some 14 week old borders coming out on Sunday...3 I think. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
