Shep Sway is usually caused by not enough weight on the tow vehicle. You should have a minimum of 10% of the trailer weight on the ball. For gooseneck or fifth-wheel that the ball weight can be as high as 25%.
I have never had a problem with trailer sway following that rule. Have found that the jerking and hobby-horsing can be eliminated with a weight transfer hitch. This also allows more tongue weight.
