    Socialisation

    Could use some more suggestions here guys: What defines a good sicialising experience, just meeting dogs on walks? Or should there be more time when two dogs are around each other, etc. I just want my puppy to be getting the right kind of social experiences, and not thinking that a...

    I think I ruined my dog!

    Yikes, almost wanted to cry when reading that buddy :(. Sounds like a nice dog you have, i'd suggest never using a shock collar, barking is a dogs natural habit, and those things should never be used. But you can train a dog when its ok to bark and when not, it just takes time and...

    Socialisation

    Loose Leash

    I recently aquired a border collie/lab pup, and have a few questions about raising it. Sage is about 3 months old now and I want to get the training off on the right foot. One problem on my mind lately is the loose leash problem, obviously sage likes to pull when we are walking, and i'm told...
