Today the girls moved to pastures new.
I so love these happy little wooly jumpers 💕
Watching the wildlife
Collies love to use their ‘eye’ to control movement. Enjoy a minute of slow life while they watch deer TV on our ride round to check the sheep this morning. You can teach your collie to do this . Link in the comments.

Yesterday my boys had their first top up feed. They have learned pretty fast !
But their table manners and etiquette could do with a little polish 😂
Walking near roads …. Is this your nemesis ?
It’s a common misconception that sitting and watching traffic or feeding treats will teach your collie not to chase traffic. Understanding why your collie does this is the key to helping them.

Here’s an 8 year old boy learning how to stay calm around the sheep. Learning to recall away and stop mid run. I need to help him learn to stay calm and work as a team member … not chase !
Collies and chasing … an issue that appears in many forms. Collies chase balls. Collies chase cars. Collies chase bikes. Collies chase joggers. Collies chase sheep. Or so it might seem to people who don’t understand collies and their full potential. A collie might run after things for a wide variety of reasons, often it’s an attempt to get ahead of the movement in order to stop it. Does your collie dart through an open gate or door then spin round to face you ? See how he gets opposite me at the head of the sheep ? It’s the same behaviour potentially.Have you got a good way to get your collie back to you if they head off after something they shouldn’t? Trying to build a reliable ‘stop’ and return is crucial if your collie is going to be off lead . #bordercollie #bordercollielovers
