[QUOTE="yellowbelly, post: 8158009, member: 42308"] Too many sheep, too soon. Go back to a few 'light sheep' that will 'go' to rebuild confidence. Flank her side to side to get some momentum going. Got a similar problem here. The old bitch suddenly ran out of energy half way through lambing (her mind was willing but her body can't cope any more) so the young dog got chucked in at the deep end for catching fresh lambed ewes. It was a bit too much, too soon. Got the job done but arsey ewes turning on him and stamping their feet has dented his confidence a bit so now there's a bit more time we've gone a few steps back in his training to take the pressure off a bit and make it 'fun' for him again.
