If your Border Collie isn't perfectly trained don't be shamed into thinking that your dog is 'broken'.

I have heard lots of different accusations over the years. Have you ever been told:

💥 Owning a Border Collie is like cheating as they do everything you want.
💥 Border Collies are easy as they come pre-trained.
💥 It's just bad breeding, I've never had to train my Border Collie.
💥 It's all your fault as you just aren't good enough to train him.

Yes Border Collies are amazingly bright and do learn quickly but they learn both wanted and unwanted behaviour just as easily. They aren't like all other dogs. Each breed is unique.

This is why I work just with Border Collies and have a free training called the Listen Up Challenge starting on July 21st. You will learn:

🎉 To fix their focus onto you rather than the environment
🎉 Turn cloth ears into connection
🎉 Become your Border Collie's best friend so they hang off your every word

Sign up to the training 👇 and teach your Border Collie to listen anywhere, anytime

Does your Border Collie have cloth ears or beautifully attentive ears?

Do his ears have selective hearing so they sometimes don't select you?

Border Collie are one of the most intelligent breeds of dogs but this can be both a blessing and a curse. They learn quickly both wanted and unwanted behaviour and so we always need to be one step ahead in their training.

If you want to...
👀 fix their focus onto you rather than the environment
👂 teach them to listen in the presence of rabbits, deer, cars and joggers
🐶 Fully activate listening mode so you can give them more freedom while keeping them safe

Join our free 5 day online training The Listen Up Challenge where you will learn:

👉 Why your Border Collie is ignoring you (it's not just stubbornness)
👉 What you may be doing to accidentally encourage selective hearing
👉 How to build engagement without nagging
👉 Breed specific training to build calm focus in a world full of rabbits, cars and joggers

Teach your Border Collie to tune in, not out by signing up 👇

Sparkles had her first rehab session post op today. Huge thanks goes to Tamsin O’Brien from Freedom vet rehab for first suspecting tethered cord. Without you we wouldn’t have got to where we are today.

Does your Border Collie fix their stare and become deaf to your cues?

While Border Collies use 'eye' to control livestock it is not always appropriate for them to use these natural instincts in everyday pet life. Staring at other dogs can be intimidating and rounding up children inappropriate.

We therefore need to teach them where to put their focus so that when we speak they listen each and every time, no matter the distraction.

The more our Border Collies listen the more freedom we can safely give them.

If you feel like...
💥 You are attached to your dog when lead walking but not truly connected.
💥 You are playing Russian Roulette with your recall when you unclip the lead.
💥 Your Border Collie doesn't appreciate the fact you love them and feed them and just sees you as their slave

Join the free 5 day Listen Up training starting on July 21st to help

🎉Fix that focus
👂 Turn Cloth ears into connection
❤️ Become your Border Collie's best friend

Does your Border Collie go deaf the moment a bird flies by, a dog appears, or the wind changes direction? 😅

You're not alone.

Whether it’s recall, training, or just getting them to look at you when it counts… engagement is the key.

Join me for the Listen Up Challenge – a 5-day, online event made just for Border Collie owners who are tired of feeling invisible to their dog.

You’ll learn:
✅ How to become your dog’s #1 focus – even around distractions
✅ Why Border Collies tune you out (and how to flip the switch back on)
✅ Simple games to build reliable connection and control
✅ What you might be doing that accidentally encourages “selective hearing”

This is breed-specific training designed to work with your Collie’s brain, not against it. 💡

🗓 Starts 21st July
💻 All online from the comfort of your own home
🐾 Ideal for all ages—from pups to adult dogs.
