Without seeing him it is hard for me to give you advice. IF he is an Aussie they generally like to push but are not dogs who generally work in large spaces or far from you. If he is circling and keeping them bunched that is the first stage. Then teach him to stop on command and give names to the directions he is going around stock - come bye and away to me are tradition. If you use Come to call him you can not use come bye to go clockwise so use go bye.
When I start driving with my dogs we begin by walking together to build their confidence. When they begin to understand I drift back and further out to the side to allow them to feel that pressure and feel in charge. Confidence is huge, they have to believe they can do it and you will help if they need it.
Come on up if you want some pointers. Having a clinic the 15,16,17 of April here. | |
