Border Collies are a tough breed, I have one and he is 10. The only information that I can provide you with, is that they are extremely extremely smart, they are bred to herd sheep and be with their "shepard" and that is their job, that is what they do. So if you can buy some books and read somemore about the breed, speak to breeders of the breed and other owners of the breed or seek out a reputable dog trainer-please keep in mind that this is really a special breed and they prefer not to be left alone for long periods of time. I have provided a couple of websites with information on the breed and information that may help you both. Good Luck to you and your new companion.

stop blaming her habit on her previous journey. you nonetheless try this and the canine is going to critically harm your baby. you enable the canine to get to the element of wrapping it somewhat is jaws around your baby's head?! on no account ought to are starting to be previous the NIPPING. Your Border Collie does not have any thought who's in can charge. Your Border Collie is quite untrained. era. No regulations, obstacles or barriers. Spraying the canine with water and telling it *undesirable canine* is ineffective. heavily? My enamel are gnashing appropriate now. you have a youthful herding breed with truthfully no intense coaching who's *herding* your 2 three hundred and sixty 5 days previous as though he have been a sheep and the canine does not understand while to stop which will reason this canine to probable KILL your baby. shop the canine away out of your son. call a sturdy coach. through fact which you at the instant are not doing so nicely with the *coaching* area. To be particularly honest with you the 1st time the canine NIPPED on the baby, i might have lifted her up off the floor by utilising way of her collar of scruff of neck and hung her there until she totally understood putting enamel on my baby will make me kill her.

Time I am afraid. She sees you as her hero right now because you rescued her. As she gets older her confidence should build up, but collies do tend to be extra loyal to their owners.

She just wants to be #1...alot of dogs are this way.
I have a Pom & A Jac-rat.....had them from babies.
I'd be hurt if they didn't make every step I made.
