[QUOTE="jemski, post: 3374096, member: 2096"] I've taught mine by getting them to hold a lamb in the corner, then catching it myself but hyping up the dog and encouraging them to join in. It doesn't take long for them to get the idea if they are strong enough. If they are good at it they love it! My best catching dog is tiny but very very determined - she very rarely lets go, and if she does she is mentally locked on so if they run through a group of sheep she doesn't lose them. [/QUOTE]
