Hey all, What are your thoughts on Black Friday? Have you used it in the past to get some really good deals or do you find it all to just be one big con? I’m on the fence and definitely feel the pressure to buy. I have got some amazing deals in the past on items that I had been watching pretty...

hey, just a little personal experience here to add incase it helps. Our collie was very afraid of men in peaked hats in particular but also afraid of all men and very wary of them. He wouldn’t let them touch him or come anywhere near him. Fortunately my father and brother both own and...

Not sure about whether technically you should use one to train but i used one on our collie mix who only needed to wear it as a ‘reminder’ once a week which quickly became never. I would sometimes just put it on him and then take it off so that he remembered to heal. He could be really badly...

requested to follow :-)

yes I 1000% agree. Collie’s are wonderful and so so clever and affectionate but can be very sensitive too. I’ve found that our labrador trains best in an entirely different way to the collies, he wants me to be very firm with my voice and very snappy with my fingers and abrupt movements. Whereas...

This is a great way to look/think of it! I can see now that this is the same for her! If only there was a way to calm her enough to get her from the house to the car (which is often parked a few streets away because we live right in the center of town)...

That’s such a brilliant idea! I wonder if we could find something like this for her to do. We already have an agility course in the garden (cheap Aldi thing) which she’s gotten quite good at so maybe we could get her to weave around trees at our local wood. We often ask her to jump on things and...

Aww she sounds adorable, I know the scream you are talking about I’ve heard that one with nervous springers before hehe. Yes sometimes I agree that it’s best just to adapt to the dog, in starting to see that ours will always be the nervous type and so some adapting will be needed to ensure...

Thank you, I can relate actually! She is a very high energy collie and has to play a certain amount of ball or do a certain amount of running/playing/swimming a day or she becomes very hyper. The only problem that we have is that we live bang in the center of town so we have to walk to any...

Thank you, we better crack out the best treats then! Hehe. Yes we will watch him closely, he’s usually very outgoing so hopefully he’ll really enjoy it :-)

Hahahaha sounds great to me!! :-D

Hey all, happy Friday! We are taking our youngest boy Eli (collie mix) to his first dog show tomorrow. It’s just a small event but there are some competitions and we’d love to enter him for fun. Does any one have any tips on how to keep him focused on the event or anything else related to...

Personally we feed Eukanuba as standard and raw food for the collies but not for our lab. We do however, add vitalin muesli for fibre and then a small handful of another high value food (whichever is on offer in at least 15kg bags so they don’t change too much and upset their tummies). Basically...

Cool! What’s the link we’ll come and follow

Coming to check him out on there :-)

Yes absolutely! Hehe. We’ll be thriving to make her as happy as possible and certainly be trying all the tips above to help her be calmer :-)

Max is gorgeous! Nice to meet you both :-)

Hey everyone, Hope you’re all having a lovely Thursday, we can’t wait for the weekend Just wondering if anyone has Instagram accounts for their pups? We love following genuine accounts and watching pups on all their adventures, so fed up of the ones who just want fake followers & never...

hahaha love your description of Murphy thinking that everyone is a mass murderer Yes it certainly helps when other dogs in the pack are more confident... sorry to hear about all the bad experiences, I wish we could control everything that happens when our pups are small but you just can’t :-(...

ooh yes! I’ve found this too! A lot of our Merle friends of Instagram have the tendency to be weary and nervous! It must be in the genetics?
