Thanks for your reply. It’s funny because like you said about they can be bold one minute and then the next day be unsure puppies she is a lot like this. Sometimes when I dog approaches and she is on the lead she’s absolutely fine, tail wagging she has a little sniff then we both move on, other...

Okay I’ll definitely take this all on board just from what you’ve said and me thinking about the interactions she’s had I will definitely be removing her from situations where she gets nervous. I never force her around dogs to play etc, but if she becomes nervous I’ll listen. When she’s off the...

Hi, I have a 4 and a half month old Border Collie puppy called Cleo. I’ve posted on here a couple times and get helpful responses so thought I’d do it again about another query I have. Cleo is still young and she loves people and is very friendly towards people, almost too friendly lol takes...

I’ve also got a puppy border collie who is now coming up for 14 weeks old. I posted a thread with a very similar situation. Everything you’ve described in your post sounds just like my pup Cleo. I’ve found when she’s having her crazy zoomie moments (which are usually at night) that’s when she...

This sounds a lot like my pup. We play with her, take her walks, give her treat games to stimulate her mind and even after all that she’ll them go for the ankles to nip them or sometimes jump up to the mouth out hands. I’ve tried crating her for timeouts when it’s gets too much. Sometimes I...

I know I was the one looking for advice but from trying new methods my puppy Cleo had been much better, still biting when playing but as soon as does it she gets put in he crate for a minuets to calm her down then she’s fine, think it’s all about repetition and consistency. But she’s been much...

Yeah I keep saying to myself that’s she’s still a young pup and it’s going to happen as part of her puppy phase. Just at times when she goes mental I almost feel it’s not normal and I’m doing something wrong. I’m gonna start making her sleep more by after play time putting her in her crate for a...

Yeah, so it’s puppy kibble in the beef and veg variety. It’s from Tesco Supermarket so their brand called complete, she gets her 3 meals a day and eats all her food.

So she’s been eating what the breeder was feeding her so it’s dried puppy food, beef and vegetables.

An update... So I’ve been sticking to the methods and she’s gotten better, she still had the odd day where she goes absolutely mental and barks then goes to bite. I feel she gets over stimulated at times. I never know how to calm her down she just goes crazy. She can now go on walks, so I take...

Aww good, I have plenty stuff for her to chew on now so should be good. That’s good to know thou I’ve clearly misread it and thought she was teething with her baby teeth but she has them all now so unsure why I thought that lol, thank you though, her biting only seems to be the worst at night...

She’s a working border collie but her parents before where not used for working neither have the litters her parents have been used for working. If she isn’t teething, what’s that stage like? Will the biting increase?

Thank you both for your response, we try distract he with toys which like I said does work but sometimes she gets even more interested in nipping and biting us. Giving a high pitch “ouch” unfortunately doesn’t work with Cleo haha, but I’ll definitely take on board the leaving the room method as...

Hey, I’ve got a 10 week (almost 11) old puppy. She is a short haired border collie named Cleo. So far she’s been amazing, going to the toilet outside, learning commands fast etc. However her biting is getting too much. She doesn’t bite bite but she jumps and attacks and puts her mouth round...

Yeah as soon as they are born and ready to have visits so I can pick my pup, I’ll be buying everything I need, cause we know the breeder she’s offered to give us a crate and some things to start us off which is fab! A journal I never thought of but will definitely do as having a routine for the...

The puppies won’t be ready to leave their home till mid/end of June anyway as they aren’t born yet. Likely end of next week they’ll be born. So hopefully by that time when they can go to their forever homes things will hopefully be better and restrictions maybe not as strict.

Yeah defo! I have younger children in my family like little cousins etc. So can socialise a puppy around them. I’d be sure to give the dog as many positive socialisation experiences as possible to avoid when it’s older being wary of certain things. It’s still a big decision for me to make. I’ve...

Yeah from researching puppies should be exposed to people, other dogs and noises when young to get used to the outdoors so maybe when a collie is a puppy getting then used to cars and traffic etc young would be a good idea. My family is me, my brother and my mum and dad. Me and my brother at 19...

Thanks for replying! I’m sure all collies will have some level of hearding instinct whatever form it may be. My dad knows the breeder so I will definitely be asking lots of questions and will ask how other people got on with her puppies. The puppies aren’t born yet but should be due around end...
