Good morning to everyone and hoping you are all managing to keep safe and well. As promised, an update regards our Tilly. Yes, she is still a very troubled girl and progress is indeed very slow. This corona virus malarkey has certainly done no one any favours I think you would all agree? With...

Afterthought...I would just like to say guys, again perhaps more so to yourself @Hemlock we do feel a tad silly now coming here to ask for help and yet, to put you into the loop as it were, both Fiona and myself are deeply private people (yes, even though Fiona works at the local school as...

Thank you so much for that Hemlock, we shall be implementing that game. We are certainly coming to realise and appreciate that we need to be putting in so much more effort into Tilly than we have been...and please know we already spend as many hours a day with her as we are able from 5.30am...

Hi Hemlock. Yes, Fiona has been doing so much research today, where possible, and has arrived at the same conclusions as yourself so that will be our chosen route with young Tilly. This second season / two year time seems to be a magical turning point for them so we shall persevere, adapt and...

Hindsight again guys...getting a collie from a farm. Yes, I can perhaps feel your frustration with us from here. In the past we have been so very "lucky" I guess as they have been socialised. Unfortunately not our Tilly. On the bright side, I promise you all we love her to bits, we really do and...

Hi again guys and @JudyN and @Hemlock Right, as I suspected Fiona is totally bowled over with this help from you guys. It is precisely what we need. As for her leads, rather her ARRANGEMENT. Fiona calls it "getting dressed" and Tilly knows exactly what this means and knows it is walk time. She...

Hemlock, thank you so completely. This is brilliant. I know Fiona will love and embrace these ideas and embrace them once she arrives home. Tilly will relish it all, I can guarantee. You are spot on with what you say ref her intelligence...we have had dogs since as long as I am able to remember...

Afterthought, if it in anyway helps any of you guys...her grandpa was an Australian Kelpie.

Judy, hi again and a good day to you. Judy, I am rather certain it is the latter of the two methods that you suggest but I will have to check for certain when Fiona arrives home. I will, of course get right on back to you with the relevant information. Fairly sure though and this is why he takes...

Hi there Hemlock and so very many thanks for getting back to us. I cannot wait for Fiona to return home from school to show her your reply and yes, it would be truly great to hear from you again with every single bit of help / advice you are able to muster. Again, thank you so much. ps...yes, we...

Judy, if this helps...when she has been aggressive she is so apologetic it is unreal. You have to see this to believe it. In a doggy way it is like..."I am sorry, I am so sorry, really sorry, please forgive me, please know I love you...snog snog snog snog snog" It is embarrassing. She really...

Hi Judy and so many thanks for getting back to us all. I will try my best to work through your questions. Well, she sleeps in our bedroom and has her own bed at the side of ours. Invariably I awake to Tilly being betwixt Fiona and myself!!! Not entirely sure I approve of this and yet, in...

Hello everyone and many thanks for this forum and its members within. Fiona, and myself, really do need some very serious help and, in total honesty, that is why I found this website and am here. We are both really hoping and praying someone, somewhere, in the UK can help us. Tilly the collie...
