Esteemed Border Collie trainer, consultant and authority on the
breed, Barbara Sykes, has lived with Border Collies all of her life
and has spent the last fifty years training, trialling and rescuing
hundreds of dogs. In her sixth book, she explores how Border
Collies have been adopted into the family home and how to get the
most from your pet dog, without diminishing the unique spirit that
attracted you to the breed in the first place. Part One of the book
takes you on a journey that began over 200 years ago at the birth
of the breed up to the present day. Understanding the history of
Border Collies, why they were bred and why they are so diverse, is
the key to understanding and managing their instincts. Part Two
then explores simple strategies and techniques to balance those
instincts within a domestic setting, whilst still having fun with
your dog and creating a strong partnership. Key coverage includes:
the history of the breed; how coat and eye colour genes impact
character; understanding and managing the inherent instincts;
health and welfare; the rescue dog in your home; Border Collies and
children; lead walking and recall and finally, trouble-shooting
problems and setbacks. Although developed with Border Collies in
mind, these techniques are applicable to any breed, making an
owner's life easier and a dog's life happier.
