Cow Dog Question

Thanks for the info Paul,

The dog is Ruby, my 3 year old cur/plott cross. She is 7/8 cur x 1/8 plott, out of Brandy (Tweety x Winchester) x Pancho ( 3/4 cur x 1/4 plott) I used her on hogs a couple years, and have recently started her on cows at home. Haven't taken her to any open country yet, as I want to get a strong handle on her working cows, and not have her off hunting hogs a mile deep.

I think I can work with the commands you are using. Something didn't feel right about telling her to get out, but it's almost second nature for me to say that when they are doing something "wrong"

I've got another older dog, Mandi's Lizzie dog that will bay the cows, but the minute a rope comes out, she's gone. Her previous owner ( 3-4 years ago) got pretty rough with her using a rope to discipline her, and he must have left one hell of an impression. I'll be able to mess with her at the house, but I can't see ever being about to really put her to work. Not to mention she's pretty well earned her retirement.

Back to the catching a roped cow. How would you recommend correcting that behavior?
