Hey guys, Olive is an 11 month old Border Collie with a huge heart and an even bigger personality. We have to rehome her do to issues w/ my landlord :( Shes incredibly smart, playful, and loves being around her people. She enjoys running, playing, learning new things, and would thrive with someone who can give her plenty of exercise and mental enrichment.
Like many young Border Collies, Olive is full of energy and is still learning her manners. She would do best with an active adopter who understands her breed and is committed to continued training. She is happiest when she has a job to do, whether that’s hiking, playing fetch, learning tricks, or participating in dog sports.
She is not spayed yet because she hasn't had her first heat & is up to date on all her shots and has all her previous medical records. She is great with both cats and dogs and children I've posted her on just about everything now and it seems like every shelter is at capacity, if you know anyone who is looking for a puppy or any one who fosters , pls let me know. Thank u!
We went to the Sunnybank Collie show today in New Jersey. Great time and we met Timmy from "Lassie" who has written a book and is selling. Very nice guy--he grew up as nice as his TV character.
Does anyone have any success stories dealing with their Collie's reactivity? My 13 month old is reactive to movement/shows unwanted herding behaviour towards children/runner/cyclists. He is currently kept on lead unless in a private field. He has never shown any aggression (never growled or snapped at anyone), his reactivity seems to be movement based - perhaps frustration. We work on him disengaging from the trigger and he has made progress but at the moment it feels like he's barking at everything and I'm looking out for triggers like a meerkat. This started around 6/7 months, before that he was a golden boy. Does anyone know if this could just be the fear period + adolescents? Has anyone actually cured their Collies reactivity or is it just a case of management?
