Train your sheepdog to stop – watch our three tutorial videos about stopping your dog on command
Why won’t the dog stop?
The three video tutorials Stopping the Dog – Parts One, Two & Three take a detailed look at the problems surrounding the stop (or stand, or wait, or lie down, or whatever command you choose). They explain why your dog doesn’t want to stop, as well as what you can do to make it more likely that the dog will obey your stop command when you give it.
Know when you can stop your dog
We also look at situations that occur, or that you can create, where the dog is most likely to obey you. And, when all else fails, how to catch your dog (and why it’s so important to let it go again).
As a sheep dog handler you naturally want to train your sheepdog to stop on command. A dog that will “stay put” is a real bonus. When you have a keen youngster is it possible to achieve that elusive “good stop” without undermining the dog’s confidence though? Find out with our videos about training your herding dog to stop.
As with so many problems that arise as the dog makes progress, the answer lies in a good foundation and not skimping on the early exercises. Secure a good stop when the sheepdog is working closely to you. Then you can gradually increase the distance between yourself, the dog and the stock. As ever, if it starts to go horribly wrong, it’s Back to Basics.
