Are you near Lancaster? I highly highly recommend Martina. It is a pity she didn't offer obedience classes when I was there. Bilbo loves this stuff
Why try Competitive Obedience with your Collie?
It’s easy to assume that sport obedience is all about rigid rules and robotic heelwork—but that couldn’t be further from the truth when it’s taught well.
✅ Structure & Purpose
Dogs thrive when they know what’s expected of them. Competitive Obedience gives you a clear framework to train within, which helps bring consistency to your day-to-day life too.
✅ Mental Stimulation
Border Collies are thinkers. Obedience gives their brains a workout through precision, problem-solving, and clear communication—perfect for dogs who struggle with too much energy m!
✅ Deepen Your Bond
Training for obedience builds teamwork. You learn to read your dog better, fine-tune your timing, and communicate in a way that makes sense to them. It’s a partnership.
✅ Channel Drive into Focus
Got a dog who’s full of beans and a bit chaotic? Sport obedience takes all that enthusiasm and channels it into controlled, purposeful behaviours.
✅ It’s FUN!
When taught with positivity, motivation, and creativity, obedience becomes an outlet your dog enjoys. It’s not about perfection it’s about connection.
You don’t have to compete to benefit. Even just training the foundations can transform your relationship with your dog.
