[QUOTE="ladycrofter, post: 8157942, member: 616"] Give her a chance! You've said she's had little work with you. Get her in the yard without sheep to lie down/sit/however you stop her. Then say "walk up" and back up a few steps, even kneel down this helps them come to you. Keep repeating and give big praise. Work on this for a few days until she has it. Then get her on 3-4 quiet sheep and encourage her. You are needing to help her overcome something she's been taught badly, or had a bad experience, either real or imagined, it doesn't matter. She might have had a bad knock from a tup or protective ewe when she was young. She sounds a lovely promising dog. [/QUOTE]
