Collies

[TwllBach]

I have a lovely little collie bitch who I adore. We have had our ups and downs, including a massive down period just after I got her. We bought her from a farmer, to whom she had already been returned once, when she was approx 17 weeks old. The down wasn't her fault, I have come to realise, it was all on me...but I love her now and she is such a good girl (nearly three years old now.)

I would like to hear stories about other collies please

I would also like any ideas as to what 'tricks' I can teach her now we have the basics down (sit, lie down, get off, high five, 'where's your tummy?' get back, wait, watch and most importantly 'come for a cuddle )

I have seen minimuu talk about gym balls? I would like to know more about this as we have moved recently to a garden that lends itself to lots of fun times out doors!

I phoned my mother the other day specifically to tell her how much I loved my little dog

Mini was it you that gave me advice re my cat and my dog a few weeks ago? It was vey helpful we are slowly getting there and DP has been spending a lot more time in the living room with us between the hours of 8 - 10pm

With the vet, it was only the first time I took her... Or maybe the second/third. She's fine now.

We are also going to progress to using a post it note tomorrow
