Do You Wanna' See A Workin' Dog?
Darby and Duelly as a Team
The Dog Lunge Line and lunge whip
Recently, with Duelly running like his tail is on fire; I started using our horses' lunge-line and whip. The whip is used to "push" the dogs out and I use the word, "Out, Out!" to make sure I get space. When I want a sheep or goat inside a gate, I just say, "Get the goat or get the sheep." The command should be one word, but I've been doing this for so long, if I say sheep and we're moving goats, the dogs look at me like I've lost my mind. I also have the sheep and goats on lunge-lines when training. We do get run-aways (livestock) and the busy road and a cliff are not too far from our house. All together this works great. I've had a lot of success in training the dogs to heel livestock. Really, they teach themselves. Too bad I don't have ducks to start them--the best herd-training. And when you move-on up...your chickens and ducks are safe.
Hello! I believed I might send a fast remark considering that I've spent the better part of the previous 30 minutes scanning through your blog posts. I truly like your post and I do hope you keep on writing more great articles. Properly that is nearly all I have to say! Many thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much! I'm flattered that a real Aussie likes my site and even read some of it! I hope it's okay to put a link to your site on my blog.
DeleteI get lots and lots of calls and emails, but the comments are nil and so surprised. I've been smiling since I read your post. Regards, --SusanLaz
