Lessons from the ONLINE course for Learning About Border Collies and Sheepdogs
➤ The background and history of how our working sheepdogs evolved to manage sheep in the UK – particularly to the collie breed where wolves were long gone and the “silent worker” was becoming the favoured choice of working dog.
➤ The development of the breed collies, sports collies and tractor driver’s partner.
➤ How the herding and gathering behaviours are developed and balanced within the dog. When these go out of balance and understanding that collies have needs that are impossible to ignore.
➤ Making changes to lifestyle, learning what to live with and what can be changed.
➤ Building the skills to be able to live together and avoid conflict and challenges.
➤ Learning to select different rewards to suit different behaviours with sheepdog preferences.
➤ Developing Sheepball skills for pleasure, for therapy and for necessity.
Learning to enjoy living together and relishing all that is collie-ness.
