There is NO REASON why a dog whose entire parentage over many generations only knew life in a shed with irregular or seasonal events cannot enjoy an urban life with people, but we do need to make allowances and adjust routines to not let their Issues, or Reasons for Living, go beyond a healthy enjoyment. Sadly modern media has bloomed more misinformation by labelling the dogs as freaky, obsessive or addicted. Generic solutions that pool all herding breeds as equal disregard the need for the Collie to exhibit their natural instinct. Living with a Collie is both a privilege and experience that brings tremendous pleasure when learning together and not in opposition. They are amazing dogs with a generous passion to work with people and fulfil their role as the Other Half, whatever that job may be. This course also welcomes other working type breeds that find modern lifestyles a challenge: in other words dogs that would favour rural lives to hunt, run, work. £ 192.00 Out of stock Format of the Course ✦ Practical Activities: selected to develop feedback skills, with an option to work on behaviours of your choice. ✦ Weekly Live Sessions: recorded held on Wednesday at 7pm UK (1900 GMT/UTC), for discussions, focus on specific topics and your questions. ✦ Individual Feedback: upload up to 6 minutes of video per week. ✦ Course Material: available for four weeks after the course. ✦ Participants only: no auditors or spectators. ✦ Attendance Certificates: available for active participants: joining the live sessions, questions, contribution to forum discussions etc. { " Thank you so much for a really fabulous course.

ng aspect is witnessing how you can achieve positive behavioral changes when focusing on the concepts and principals."

" 50 years Living with Collies I have shared the time with 28 Collies, many born in front of me, some left at the gate, and a few adopted from selected sources. Over time, contributions from, and other breeds served to emphasise the impressive skills of sheepdogs to teaching people. Dogs are Born to Learn What do we want our dogs to learn? What skills are going to be of greatest value to them? Learning to learn is a skill. It is full of critical elements that will transfer to everything they do for the rest of their lives.
