Concerned your dog may, or has chased sheep?

Dogs can be shot if they are found chasing sheep, so why not come to a working sheep farm in Iden Green, Benenden, and in one session learn how to stop your
dog chasing sheep. Pricing, 1st August to end of February:
£35/ session weekdays.
£40/session Saturdays and bank holidays.
1st March to 31st July:
£40/ session weekdays.
£45/session Saturdays and bank holidays. NB There is a lambing surcharge and dog owners receive a discount if they bring more than one of their own dogs to be trained. Please note that I always advocate that people keep their dogs on the lead amongst sheep, but there is always a chance that you may come across sheep unexpectedly, therefore I can help in those situations. I cannot 100% guarantee your dog will never chase livestock again, but most "sheep proofings" are successful if the dog owners do as instructed.

The rams on our farm, and probably many over the country, have gone in with the ewes. Please be aware, dogs chasing pregnant sheep causes them to miscarry.

I am often asked what happens when a dog comes for sheep proofing. Here's a short walk through, expertly filmed by one of our work experience students.

Only 2 weeks to go until we are at Pentwyn Fram in Brecon for Sheep Proofing. There are a re few tickets left. Click the following link if you would like to learn how to stop your dog chasing sheep and wildlife: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1995681768893?aff=oddtdtcreator

Some positive results from the Dogs (protection of livestock) Act 2025. This article is 3 months old, but highlights that the police can now take serious action against irresponsible dog owners (although in this case the farmer still lost out):

Linda Lawrence's two dogs escaped from her garden after chewing through a fence, the court hears.

I will be at Pentwyn Farm, near Brecon, sheep proofing dogs from 2nd to 4th September. Please click on the link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1995681768893?aff=oddtdtcreator to book a session if you would like to learn how to stop your dog chasing sheep and wildlife. This is now my 5th year coming to Wales, and the farm has excellent camping facilities. Hope to see you there. Please feel free to share this post once you have booked a place.

This is what a dog bite on a lamb looks like. Hopefully it will survive, after antibiotics. For those living in, or walking through Benenden and Iden Green, this probably happened when a dog was off the lead in Strawberry Gill woods, with the owner unaware that sheep were nearby. Please do share this, and I would be grateful for any information on the incident. And please, if you live locally, and can't control your dog, come and see me for training. I am very happy to help.

Keen collies rounding up sheep, to get a handful ready for the freezer. I might have a box or 2 spare, so please message me if you would like one.

09/06/2026

I'll be back in the Brecon Beacons from 2nd to 4th September sheep proofing dogs, staying at Pentwyn Farm near Cantref. They have excellent camping facilities, if people wish to stay there. I will post the booking form for the dog training in July or August.

It was good to have a well behaved fox red labrador here yesterday. Well trained by the owners, and it had been to Wealden Dog Training. Putting effort into dog training makes such a difference, and that makes sheep proofing easier.

Lambing is now over for us, and sheep proofing charges are now back to normal. Be aware of the new legislation protecting livestock: https://defrafarming.blog.gov.uk/2025/12/18/law-changes-strengthen-protection-for-livestock/
