[QUOTE="cross_7, post: 671601, member: 8382"] just my two cents i don't hit or swat or strike ever. when a pup does something wrong, i growl at him like his mother would... it works trust me. an older dog that does not react to a growl or an aiiihjt!!! i grab him by the scruff of the neck and tell him no!!!! and if that doesn,t do the trick i add a little shake when i've got a hold of him. that always works. i don't start them on cattle until they are 8-10 months old(maybe goats at 2-3 months just to be sure they have the instinct) at 8-10months i put them on 300-400 pound calves. if you have never trained a dog, i reccomend ben means training video but the dog must have a strong desire to work or this method has to be adapted to a weaker dog. (i don't adapt, i get a better dog..weak dogs quit when you need them the most) keep in mind most working dogs have ben bred for the last 200 years to gather cattle, so it goes against their instinct to drive cattle. good luck and be patiencent [/QUOTE]
