livestock safety

Positive control around sheep - a livestock safety course with a difference.

Our objective is for you to be safe members of society, to be able to control your dog in the presence of sheep, for livestock's emotional and physical well-being to be protected.

Some of the things we will cover:

🐑 Sheep and how they communicate - are they scared? Happy? Is your presence frightening them?

🐕‍🦺 Training management behaviors that promote responsible space sharing (sometimes we need to walk on a footpath past sheep, how can we best do this without scaring the sheep and without our dogs losing their minds...)

⚽ How to fulfill dogs drive for chasing in a safe way.

🐶 Important life skills such as recall, loose lead walking, self control etc etc

🌼 Working on relationship goals - how we can develop the best relationship with our dogs so they don't look too the environment for fun - but us.

😴 Learning that sheep are booooooring - Working with real life confident sheep in a safe way to promote the idea that sheep really aren't that interesting.

❌ We will be using positive reinforcement, management and relationship based training - absolutely no use aversives or punishment.

This will be a great opportunity for you to work closely with livestock in a safe way - safe for everyone involved.
