[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 383882, member: 6291"] A "good" cow will not fix the problem... it just gets the dog more hyped up. The only way the cow will fix the problem is by killing the dog. The way we train our hunting dogs and family pets is to start off by driving by the cattle with the dog tied up where you can correct the dog. You can also walk the dog out there but I think we all know the risk of walking around cows with dogs. As soon as the dog gets an eye on the cattle and starts acting like he wants to go you pop the dog on the nose and say "get out of there" do it several times until the dog looks away. Then go on. Next day do it again. Go by the cows and when the dog locks his eyes on the cows tell him "get out of there" and start swatting him on top the nose. Just repeat it over and over. Eventually when you go by the cows the dog will just look away. You don't have to HIT the dog... just a little swat to break their attention off the cattle and to recodnize that you are giving a command. If the dog is not use to taking commands it will take longer. If the dog still continues after doing that for a while then go from swatting on the nose to popping on the rear with a rope or leash.... again not beat the dog with a rope. A quick pop to get their attention from the cattle to you. Make sure the dog is tied up so that when you pop the dog it doesn't run off. That does no good. It makes no difference wether the dog is from the city or country, big dog little dog, Blue Healer, Pit Bull, Heinz 57.... be consistant and put a little time in and you can correct the dog no matter what. It is worth it in the end... nothing is better to have around then a well trained dog. [/QUOTE]
