The Border Collie – from crazy to calm: Top tips for struggling owners

“Will you please pack it in and just go and lie down!”

Have these words ever passed your lips when your border collie has popped that toy into your lap for the thousandth time that day?

Here are some suggestions to help

Do you ever feel like:

  • Your border collie never tires out, even though they get so much exercise?
  • They chase after everything! Cars, joggers, the vacuum cleaner, even their own tail?
  • You can’t walk through your house without them grabbing and nipping at your ankles?
  • The moment you step outside, you lose all your dog’s attention, and it’s like you don’t exist?
  • You’re constantly entertaining them. When do you get to just put your feet up?
  • You have a Jekyll and Hyde dog – one minute they’re sweetly snuggling like a content baby, and the next they’re digging their teeth into you like some kind of demon!
  • They think everything is theirs and look at you as if to say, “Hello, no way are you going near it!”

It’s frustrating, embarrassing and exhausting living with a border collie who doesn’t behave. I get it because I have lived it.

I have lived days where I didn’t want to spend time with my own dog, dreading going home to have to deal with a ball of manic pent-up craziness. I would want to hide upstairs so I didn’t have to deal with the persistent attention that he needed.

I don’t want you to go through the stresses and strains that I did. I want everyone who is struggling with their border collie’s behaviour to know they are not alone.

There is hope.
