As you mentioned the worrying of sheep, have you any ideas on correcting the behaviour of an 18mth old ESS with an 'over active' (putting it mildly!) interest in sheep.
I live on a farm and had no problems with her initial training and she was safe to walk through a field full of sheep with no lead on. But with the severe restrictions imposed on us by FMD, her outdoor training was limited solely to the back garden, and this was quite often out of bounds due to it being taken over by lambs squeezing through the fence. On re-introducing her to the stock once restrictions were lifted I discover the little darling ...(also known as the dog from hell).....now thinks that sheep exist just for the pleasure of a good game of chasing!! Any help would be appreciated please John.
