Last night we got a seven week old Border Collie from a farm where the mother is a working dog.
We've read the dog training guides and they all seem very focused on the dog spending a lot of time in a crate during the day.
At least one person is with the dog all day and at the moment we tend to spend from around 07:00 to 19:00 in the garden. This means today has looked like taking her for a little walk, doing a bit of training on coming to us when we call and walking with us and a lot of sleeping or lying in the shade next to where we are in the garden.
It feels like this should be a reasonable thing to do, but I'm curious what you think.
