Border Collie Training - Dog Training for your Border Collie puppy The training of dogs is often... ... confused with classical dog training drills ... only considered necessary for demanding dogs ... mocked by other dog owners ... replaced by anti-authoritarian methods ... considered too difficult to achieve without experience. What constitutes dog training and what is it good for? And how can you and your Border Collie profit from it without having any experience? The most important thing is to understand how a dog sees his world, what is “normal” for him and how you can use this to your advantage. In addition, the characteristics of each breed are significant when you get beyond the basic training phase. Your Border Collie will show characteristics which are different to those of a Pug, for example, and this is predominantly what you need to consider during training. This book is vol. 2 of the Border Collie training books. Vol. 1 for you Border Collie puppy is also available with the title "Border Collie Training Vol. 2: Dog Training for your grown-up Border Collie" Author Claudia Kaiser says about her book: “It was my desire to let other dog owners profit from the knowledge I have gained over many years, and after making many mistakes.

My aim is to help every beginner, not only to understand his dog better, but also to know exactly how to get the best results, step-by-step, so that you can achieve a close, positive and trusting human-dog relationship.” Quench your curiosity to know about background information, read reports on other experiences and obtain step-by-step instructions and secret tips which are tailor-made for your Border Collie.

The characters involved in the activities at the Riverview Animal Shelter return in this fourth book of the series. Border Collies are among the most intelligent of dogs. An experimental, life-saving treatment by a nonconformist veterinarian on a Border Collie puppy, Trixie, not only saves Trixie's life, but thereby produces a dog with an amazing level of intelligence, capable of performing both surprising tricks and sensitive service to her mistress, Katherine, recovering from cancer. Katherine's illness and slow recovery cause her to lose an offer to join a private veterinary practice, but the Riverview Animal Shelter is eager to have her services. Furthermore, one of the volunteers there, Donald, falls in love with this attractive, intelligent, plucky young woman. Trixie shows her talents on stage, saves an important ceremony from becoming a fiasco, and has a dalliance with a neighbor's dog that ends up producing smart puppies, including one who will play a major role in the next book in this series. From the author: "In my many years of teaching dog obedience, I have discovered that not all humans understand what their dog is trying to tell them. I've enjoyed my opportunities to teach classes on dog communication (the body language of dogs). My goal has always been to reach a wider audience, which publishing my books will allow. "I've always enjoyed telling stories. I have discovered that stories can help us to learn and remember valuable information. I hope the reader will find these stories entertaining and informative." This is the fourth in this multi-book series, following UNDERSTANDING SASSIE and UNDERSTANDING SASSIE, II, and UNDERSTANDING CHAMP. Readers can enjoy any of the books without having read the others. All four novels combine upbeat personal stories with insights about training dogs with love.

An aggressive dog, whether large of small, baring its teeth and growling can be a terrifying sight. Dogs, like children, require boundaries and training in order for them to grow into sociable, well-mannered adults with a healthy respect for their fellow beings. Barbara Sykes explains how to recognise and understand the causes of hostility in dogs, and how to move forward in a calm and sympathetic way in order to gain a dog's respect and friendship. The author is an experienced dog trainer and her common-sense approach to behavioural problems in dogs is successfully proven in this book by the rehabilitation of Craig.

Dawson McClements, Border Collie OwnerIf you've ever seen a dog in a television commercial, there's a pretty good chance it was a Border Collie. Or, if you've watched herding competitions, you've probably seen a Border Collie controlling the herd. First and foremost, Border Collies are sheep herders.
