All dog breeds
Drive, job, impulse
Border Collie
Work-bred, bright, and easily bored. They need a job that is not the couch, and a handler who can be more interesting than the environment.
What we train
Impulse control, a daily work menu, and recall that holds when sheep — or joggers — appear.
In this practice
Katie treats Border Collies as working animals first. The goal is not to drain the dog. It is to give the drive a shape the household can live with: a start cue, a stop cue, and a rest that is actually rest.
