[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 1700"] Number one rule is not to work cattle with the dog until it's a year old. A pup started too young on cattle can very easily lose its confidence and never be a good working dog. The pup needs to bond with you first of all. Take it everywhere with you and spend as much time as possible with it. Work with the pup so that it WANTS to come to you. Praise it all you can, and set up situations whenever you can so the pup will do whatever it is you want done "right" so you can praise it. I cannot emphasize Praise rather than Punish enough. It's a very important concept. There are books out and I think the website I'm thinking of is ranchdog.com. Border collies are often started on ducks and sheep first, so that's something to look into. [url=http://www.murraygrey.com]Rafter L Murray Greys[/url] [/QUOTE]
