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.
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
Thank you for this. My dog's parents are both working sheepdogs on a farm, but I'm training my dog for agility. We're working on stopping when I need her to stop, and also working on general obedience. This is very helpful. I can see where I'm going wrong. I'm asking her to do things when I'm not sure if she'll do them and then wondering why she ignores me.
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 .👍
very true every thing u said ,ive bein lookin a sheepdog ,they shout lay down bout 6 times then another comand ,i give up looking ,thanks for video keep up the good work
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. 👍🏼🐑🐕
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?

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

How interesting that they learn a technical failure as inconsistency and opportunity
She is quick😍
Isnt this very stressful for the sheep?
I don’t get any sound on your videos.
These sheeps are getting some cardio 🤣
Theres actually people out there that think this is animal abuse🤣🤣🤣 thats a happy dog!!!
For the sheep maybe? just asking..
@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.
I'm getting dizzy watching Flute running in circles.
Flute reminds me of Meg...FAST and seems as aware...just saying. Anyhoo...very informative video Emma [and Ewan] - thanks for sharing! Cheers...
Why do you keep saying ‘lie down’ when the dog is lying down ? :/
Yeah ideally you should only give a command once, but I suppose whatever works for you.
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.
Do it force free or dont bother. Lame
