You can teach an old dog new tricks

[OwlLady]

or at least re train them if they are being a stubborn border collie...

my 11 year old has become very interested in little dogs clicker training, so I have been taking them out for a separate walk as well as their one together (am knackered :o) and older dog LOVES doing a a lot of clicker training

I just wanted to share as I think it's fab

I had never done clicker training before I am a complete convert:o

Great news OwlLady - I love the clicker too, it's a shame DH won't buy into it. They like them at puppy training classes too but we can't use them there, as that would be a lot of clicking by various people to confuse the pups no end! Respect for walking that much though

My puppy realised he could swim today, when he followed his Springer friend off the end of a platform into a lake in excitement, his face was a picture!! Mine was probably too when I realsied what he had done! Cleaned him up nicely just before home though, although he was shivering like mad trying to get to sleep in his bed
