Our latest tutorial video revision is about training the sheepdog to stop. Stopping the Dog – Part One.
Unsurprisingly it’s a popular tutorial, as problems with the stop are very common. That’s to be expected. A keen young trainee can be difficult to stop. To be a useful sheep or cattle dog though, it must stop on command.
Of course there are things you can do to persuade your dog to stop – wait until the dog’s on balance; raise your arms or the training stick; or get between the dog and the sheep to block it – but a good stop goes deeper than that.
More detail
The revised Stopping the Dog – Part One tutorial goes into more detail about why the dog will or, more usually, won’t, stop. It encourages you to look at your entire relationship with your farm dog, at its general obedience, and at how the hunting instinct can both help and hinder your progress when training the sheepdog to stop.
We hope you’ll find Stopping the Dog – Part One more clear, and even more helpful than its previous version, but we’re always happy to hear from you. Please let us know what you think!
We’re continuing to revisit and revise the tutorials, adding information and improved footage as we go. Learn about training your cattle dog to stop, with our online tutorial videos.
