just got a border collie at 8 weeks, now 11 weeks today. this website/forum seems like quite a resource. ive already ordered some training supplies from the catalog, and seen a few videos. any other border collie owners? cant wait to be part of this great dog community.
Welcome Gabe,
Very cute puppy! You could not have picked a better breed .
I've trained and competed w/ my border collies for 8 years... mostly in agility, but some herding too. I was sure I wouldn't "need" any other breed, but then I discovered Schutzhund. Now I have an 11 wk old german shepherd.
Is the little guy going to have a "job" when he grows up?
basic obedience training for now, im thinking of starting with marker training with no commands for a while. after basic obedience and hand signels its agility time, woohoo, hehe.
"Is the little guy going to have a "job" when he grows up?"
well since she is a werking breed, she has to have a job, so im thinking agility. there are 3-4 agility/training facilitys within a few miles of my house, im planing on 30 min a day min.
"Welcome. How you got a puppy that young to stand still long enough to take a picture beats me."
thats only a split second in time, the rest of the time she is a prey driving nut, hehe
