  1. Dog Training and Behaviour
    I have a near 2 year old female collie from working stock, as a pet. I previously saw a dog trainer who recommended I do more 1-1 engagement with a ball to make me more exciting than the environment around her. This worked great, however, I now recognise she is overstimulated. I use the ball...

    Hello, My border collie has developed noise phobia over the last 12 months and it’s getting worse. She is almost 12 and it was never an issue until around 12 months when it started to expand to more normal noises, and it’s now getting worse. My Collie Ellie, used to be scared of fireworks and...

    Hello, My border collie is 1yr and 8 months old. He's just about perfect apart from recently his dog walker has suggested getting him neutered for the reasons he is underweight and he shows some anxiety before going in her van and my car. And a bit of misbehaving when he's out with her and the...

    Hi guys, I’ve been looking into getting a border collie, probably a puppy as we have cats in the house so hopefully it could get use to them if introduced from a young age. I’ve had no luck looking at rescues so far. I’ve looked a bit on gumtree but I’m wary incase I end up with an unhealthy...

    Hi all, our 7 year old collie has been diagnosed with bi lateral arthritis in each front paw knuckles and we're devastated as she's so young. We're also frightened as to what this means for her as she gets older. The onset was sudden after having a mad half hour play with another dog. She was...

    I have a 12 week old border collie puppy that has been limping on her front leg for almost 4 weeks now. She's weight bearing on the leg, no obvious pain, swelling or stiffness when you feel down the leg and do a flexion test. Due to lockdown the first time she could be physically examined by...

    Hi, im new here and am looking for some advice. My husband and I rescued a border collie in October (he has just turned 1 this month).

    My lab collie cross has a very high prey drive. She constantly tries to charge and go after wildlife and acts completely crazy around deer and pheasants especially (yelping, lunging on her lead, not paying any attention to me, almost pulling me over to get to things). We can't let her off her...

    hey guys, I’m curious to which one is best to train a puppy whilst out on a walk. I just got stopped by a man who informed me that training a puppy in a harness isn’t the best way as harnesses is designed for dogs that pull. He said a collar will be best (if in the right place) as you’ll get...
