We are owners of a 5 month old border collie. She is doing pretty good with our livestock (goats) and she is responding to training with the livestock really good. However,we are having a major problem with her chasing all vehicles by the blacktop in front of our farmstead. She refuses to listen to any command while she is fixed on chasing. Runs away from us when we try to catch her until we press her for the down command.
Question?
Would it be advisable to use a shock collar to correct this problem? We're afraid she'll get hurt a lot more if she continues to chase cars and trucks. If we use a training collar, what kind is best for these dogs?
Anyone who can help-advise us would be appreciated.
Thanks
