What are some ways you guys break dogs off livestock? Is it mainly just raising them around em? And how does it go breaking a grown dog off livestock that hasn’t been around them before

Direct repeated exposure and electricity would be the only thing I could think of, Don't encourage nor discourage when exposed and don't be too kind with the thumb button, scold them when they get back to you.

The pups need to know it is good to bay and catch pigs…
Once the pups understand that then take out around cattle and already have the shock collar’s set on high…turn them loose close to cattle and when they go to bay light-em up really good and give command to get outa there and to load up…once loaded, if you can drive up close to the cows tag them again if they even look at the cows and give your command that means no at that time…you need to over emphasize this opportunity…repeat in a week…

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...

Done it for 20+ years without a shock collar. Put time into your pups. Let them bay everything when they’re young and when it’s time for business show them hogs with your older dogs and they should be smart enough to figure it out. Time and exposure.
Sometimes E Collars have their place, but handle and a stern voice work for me.

That's right. While I use a shock collar I always figured if your good enough to break a dog off with one, you are good enough to break one off without one. Went years without one. |

The quickest way is electricity…especially if you don’t have access nor time…but the best way is like Josh and Cajun said…time and exposure and the pups knowing what no means…
The thing is to not have an accident with 3 or 4 young dogs catching and mauling a neighboring calf or cow…
