Been saying this for years.

That also applies to any other working bred dogs. Eg Cocker and Springer Spanials etc.

Border Collies are bred to be working dogs however many end up in pet homes. This can work out well for some but ends in disaster for others.

Just because a Border Collie may have been bred from a pet Border Collie or a show line Border Collie doesn't mean it won't have the same working instincts. Yes research has shown that working line Border Collies are more impulsive than pet counterparts BUT they are still a Border Collie with the same instincts.

The majority of training and behaviour issues that I see with Border Collies are because this has been misunderstood and what is driving their behaviour is what the breed was intentionally bred for. They are not bad dogs but simply need to be understood.

A Border Collie can be an amazing companion and they excel at sport and many activities. They love to train and need generally more exercise and mental training than some other breeds. If they get bored they can be destructive and go self employed. If you don't give them jobs to do then they will happily find their own, and you might not approve of their choices!

While some Border Collies are easy to live with and handle these unicorns are not the norm. Many love to chase anything that moves whether that be cyclists, cars, joggers, hoovers or anything with wheels. They are extremely sensitive to pressure and so can be reactive. They are bred to be sensitive and some find urban environments stressful and can develop noise sensitivity or repetitive behaviours such as shadow chasing.

They are a genius breed though and with the right training and understanding can excel. If you want to learn more about how to train your Border Collie then sign up for our free training starting tomorrow Nov 25th

I often wonder if these people who have problems with other people's dogs running up to theirs to say hello, have the same problem with their kids

This can never be shared enough!

They're individuals with their unique personalities, needs, and desires. We have no right to treat them as anything less. 🐷

Remember to stick to early morning or late evening dog walks when it's hot. Sometimes it's safer to miss the walk altogether 🥵

Taking your dog on a walk or to places with little or no shade can be fatal during summer. It's important for dog owners to remember… If in doubt, DON’T go out!

Heat-related illnesses in dogs are severe and can lead to organ failure, brain damage and even death 💔

Last night's training equipment wise we kept to a minimum due to the rainy conditions At Monty's we're steering away from Agility and moving towards K9 Pole Wrap Show Jumping as shown. In our opinion this is a safer option where the dog is always facing the next jump in a natural straight line position after leaving the Pole Wrap. The course set was very basic due to the weather conditions within the next couple of weeks our new equipment will be ready. The jump heights are 25, 45, and 65cm. When shown we welcome unbiased constructive comments which can be of benefit to enable us to get it off the ground an an alternative to what we see in competitions now.

The type and breed of dog you don't associate with Activity Training. Monty's can't take all the credit as from what I understand Kilo has received some control training from Dean Woodcock, Kanetex Dog Training. Never the less. WELL DONE.

We've seen a big one. Now the turn of little Pickle the Pug.

Tonight's Training with Arnold. Note we use a pole wrap as we believe to be a safer option to a wing wraps.

Lola this morning doing an half hour track spread over four legs. At towards the end of the second leg,Lola lies down indicating the first arrival,a strip of leather one inch wide x four inches long. On to the third and fourth leg which at the end was her favourite rubber ball as reward.

Today's Training on a Steeplechase Course with an added hoop and pause table thrown in. Shown is Helen and her Springerdor H who have been training for just over a year after completing our Puppy and Young Dog Preparation Program. A nice flowing round from both. Just unfortunate, H clipped one of the jump poles. To be absolutely fair to him. This was his first training session after having a couple of weeks off due to a cyste removal operation on his back.
