hi! i recently bought a 3 year old BC, wich had been started training on sheep.
it is mostly following directions, and have a good stop.
the problem is, when it is not manually stopped by me, or otherwise gets too close on the outruns, it will grip throat or the hip of the sheep, and hang on.
in light of this, i have now set up a smallish pen, where i am in more control/proximity. but almost every time im trying to train with it, shes gripping when she gets too close. wich is a problem now, as the sheep is sheared, and she breaks skin easily.
its getting abit better.
my question are. does anyone have a tip for this behaviour?
or is it just a matter of persistence and repeating, building dog confidence, and correcting the gripping when/right before it happens?
i guess it comes from insecurity/frustration- as she have been trained on dogtrained sheep. wich my sheep most definitely aint, yet
