There can be a lot of variation in the breed. For instance I have a low energy Australian Cattle Dog while most are high energy.Without seeing the specific situation I tried to address problems that I often see people experiencing in general. Whether the dog is fixed or not, also plays a roll in terms of hormones entering the picture. I don't have much experience with dog's that aren't fixed. Soon after they become wards of the shelter they are sent off for spay and neuter which I have seen, helps to calm down the dogs and improve problematic behavior.Good Luck, the border collies are one of my favorite breeds, both smart and sensitive. I'll have a few more posts on the breed in the future,as I have some funny stories about ones that have shown up on my doorstep.Glad you had a good week with the pup.Lorenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18032101876911392137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8682291863313547499.post-84265773496655633712010-06-03T00:35:08.427-07:002010-06-03T00:35:08.427-07:00Oh Lorena!

Our little guy is anything but timid, so I will take your advice and see if I can convince him who is in charge and remember to praise him when he does good. <br /><br />This has been a good week for the dog. He has played fetch the frisbee with us every morning after his walk, off the leash, all week without a hitch...we are so proud of him.<br /><br />Thanks for all the great advice!Mr. H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04576034751522467377noreply@blogger.com
