There are several methods described in any number of dog training books..
What do you do whilst he does those matters? You ought to now not allow this puppy out with no leash. When he is going charging to get them, flip round and pass the opposite direction. Do this speedily to take him via shock. Praise him as soon as he stops and begins to appear at you for path. Start doing all of your coaching across the goats. Do your take a seat and downs subsequent to the goat pen. Getting up and chasing must be instantly corrected. While JRT and dalmatians are prime power, he can also be knowledgeable to act across the inventory. In truth there are lots of of either one of those breeds in barns that include, horses, sheep, goats or even rabbits. These puppies have found out that they aren't to chase or trouble those animals by any means. It simply takes a few organization and steady coaching
If its the same general area everytime you can try some chile powder, or some deterrent spray that you can pick up in a dog supply store. Between the electric fence and cayenne pepper my dog has stopped digging in my garret and beneath the fence. Now if only I could keep her from chewing on everything.
