Breaking Weaners

Breaking in the weaners with dogs (thanks @_ivyschmidt ), teaching them to stay together as a mob when dogs are around them (may be helpful if wild dog/dingoes are annoying them), to be calm around people, to block up (stop) or not trot off when people are near them on foot, on bikes or in vehicles (we don’t use horses so they’ve never seen a horse at this stage), and also to walk calmly when required, either from Point A to B in the paddock, or through gateways and the race draft in the yards.

Also photos 1, 2 and 3 – when you’re handling the job just fine by yourself, but someone else decides you need help ?
