Just thought I would throw out a little update on my pup. Today was the first day that I was able to get her back out there. I walked her into the woods on the opposite side of the property downwind from where I knew the cows were at. She was doing real good making 200yd loops then checking back in, all the while I am walking toward the cows. Finally got to the north side of the property where the cows are at. I able to see them before she winded them, or saw them, but sure enough once she does, she beelines it to the cows. Thankfully I was in a position to see it all. She gets about two barks in on a cow and I nick her, about 1/2 power. She looked up like "what the heck" and goes back to barking. So I nick her again and get the same what the heck reaction. Once again she goes back to barking so I hit the "constant" button for a few seconds and she comes running back to me. I never said a word to her while hitting the button. So I stand at the edge of the woods looking at about 30 cows for a while to see if she wants to go back out, but she never does. Headed back into the woods, and she hung close for a few minutes, then she was back to making her loops. After that I came across some fresh small tracks and she was gone for about 20 minutes trying to work something out at 2-400yds, but never did. So I am thinking shocking her didnt have too much of a negative effect. Gonna try to get her back out in the next couple of days to set her up again and see if it made an impression. Hopefully she is a quick learner, but more hopefully I hope I can get her on a pig.
