Collie Calm: Training for High-Energy Border Collies | 2.5 hour workshop
This workshop is for Border Collies & Collie Crosses who always want to be on the go:
- Hyper vigilant at home – listening out for sounds outside
- Barking at sounds or movement whilst in the garden
- Over-excited when going out in the car for a walk
- Lead walking can feel like water-skiing!
- Daren’t let them off their long-line as into everything, recall non-existent when distracted
These dogs with big personalities can be anything from young dogs to middle-aged adults. They need a bit more training and understanding to help them behave more appropriately in your home and out and about.
During this workshop we’ll be covering…
- Tips & techniques for managing and training high-energy dogs
- How to teach a reliable settle behaviour
- Physical v. mental exercise for a more relaxed collie
- Becoming the person our collie turns to when you face a distraction
My dog is so easily distracted and doesn’t do well in a group class – can I spectate instead?
You will learn lots of valuable information by both taking part with your dog, or watching as a spectator too.
Where is the workshop held?
The workshop will be held at Clevedon Riding Arena. We will go ahead if light rain/ wind is forecast, but you would be notified of cancellation in the event of very bad weather.
About your instructor
I’ve belonged to 7 amazing collies, bred 15 talented collie puppies over two litters, and fostered 3 troubled collies before finding them their forever homes.
Not to mention how many collies and their owners I’ve helped throughout my 15 years as a dog trainer. I guess you’d say I’m a bit of a fan of the breed!
Border Collies and their crosses can be amazing dogs. But they can also be really hard work too!
That’s why I help collie owners how to teach their dog brilliant life skills (loose lead walking/ recall/ social skills) so they can enjoy walking anywhere without the worry of them overreacting to other dogs.
Join me for this workshop and I’ll help you achieve this too!
