My dog knows the basics but I'm still training her.
8 months ago
My collie; meg, is about 2 years old now and I’ve had her since she was a pup. She gets the basics like Lie down, come/go by and fetch on and she picked up a few tricks from our other collie.
She’s very keen and seems to live for the chase so much so that it’s difficult to call her off or make her stay.
Meg is the first collie I’ve ever trained and I’m learning as she is, I really recommend buying a training guide/video to keep you right it really helped me at the start.
If you can, you might want to go to a session with a serious trainer who works on the fells. I’m going to see Derek Scrimgeour (one of the English sheep dog trials champions) for 2 days training sessions in the summer.
