Sorry to butt in, will make my own thread if necessary, my BC is random when she sees dogs small dogs she is fine with unless they start barking and/or pull on their leads at which she will bark and basically lunge left and right around me, this is even when dogs are on other side of road and...
Had a few similar threads in past but backstory and update.
She has always been a bit awkward when it comes to toilet habits wanting out often, going through phases of every 4-6 weeks having accidents for a few days then fine, wanting out once during night etc.
Back in November I changed her...
Relatives recently got a 2 year old male BC and needed a dogsitter I saw it as a good opportunity for my girl to bond and socialise first night relatives were there and both collies on leash for 4 hours when let go my girl was overwhelmed as boy wouldn't get away from her and was showing her...
Had a nightmare getting her to have a balanced food since I got her, she has/had phases of accidents and this seemed to slow down about 8 months ago when she was changed to a different brand and given food supplement then recently having accidents again.
But last week I had some chicken breast...
Greatly improved though seems to be very nervous, barks at German Shepherds but is mostly ok with other dogs unless they approach when she is in our garden and she will bark.
Can let her off leash in garden and even close to house and she will walk home and wait for me by my door.
Her...
Shes 2 in a few weeks always been friendly only nervous around certain breeds i.e German Shepherds in part due to their size and dogs with loud breathing like pugs.
More and more in past few months she is so random when on a walk and can randomly see a dog stare for a second then bark and pull...
Adding onto old theories and experience of mine her overall behaviour has greatly improved and can go 3-4 hours without wanting out. Relatives who cared for her gave her a supplement for digestion and that ran out 10 days ago and during the period where she was with them and until a few days...
An update on me, 8 weeks ago I fell taking my girl into field to go potty and broke my leg and was in hospital for a few weeks and needed surgery.
My girl is at my relatives being spoiled, she is still hyper and I think understimulated as relatives are pensioners they can only take her out for...
Over past 6 weeks or so out of nowhere she has began being sensitive to noise, pulling lead on a walk and even when she comes in she stands at top of stairs and then plays tug of war with her lead.
Since New Year she also had regular accidents indoors despite zero change to diet, vet says her...
I changed pup from dried food almost 2 months ago as she wanted out a lot for poops and wees, she reacted well to it at first it was boiled chicken breast, and the odd leftover beef mince, and a few times fish depended on what I had that needed cooked.
Then I put her on tinned food but noticed...
Wrote in past about possibly going on raw diet, didn't at time as she was under 1 year old as well as the only suppliers I saw being very expensive.
Noticed a few things about her recently, was away on holiday and was running low on dog food and didn't want to buy a large amount for 2 days or...
Ok strange one, shes 14 months old now and has always slept in my bedroom, and apart from first few weeks I had her she sleeps on my bed though pattern has changed i.e originally on my feet or between my legs, to lying beside me, to for first hour or two of night sleep under bed then beside me...
Getting stressed out over this, she will go in morning when she wakes no problem but any other time of day at best she will have a small wee after I tell her to "settle" and/or put my hands in pocket and turn my back to her.
I am spending 30 minutes on average a time at least 3 times and maybe...
Border Collie Pup is 9 months old now, for past month or so whenever she sees a car on same side of road as her she pulls me towards it and if I hold her back as I see one coming she instead jumps in air and "snaps" at it, I think out of excitement.
She also pretty much as she goes outdoors...
My BC is now 8 months old, I still have I think around a month of dry food left depending on how I use it and if I give her bigger portions, a relative suggested to give her more food as even though her weight seems just about right shes still slim and it may stop puppy wanting food 24/7...
Puppy has a habit of since I got her picking up and swallowing everything on the floor especially stones/pebbles originally if I was quick enough I would use a treat and then chuck the stone away.
Now shes older and I take her on a lot of walks especially through wooded areas and places where...
Shes 24 weeks old now, she still doesn't hold it in during the night though even when I take her out she rarely actually does a pee or poop or if she does its like a split second wee and a tiny poop like smaller than a meatball.
Her zoomies in past few days have changed from running about a lot...
I have a thread on the introduction forum but will transfer some things to here.
What sort of walking should I be doing with puppy? I used to take her on a 20-30 minute walk (of which time includes her in garden twice to do her business so more like 15-20 minute walk) but noticed she was...
When I got her I used the dry food farmer gave me and she was fine on it, then changed to Bakers dry puppy food and she started to get grumpy.
Last 2 days I used Wilko's dry puppy food and shes now very agressive! And keeps going in house more, often its a squat but nothing comes out though and...
Have a border collie I got from a farmer all legit, proper details taken, vaccination records and I still send pictures to them with updates.
Puppy has always been full of energy and excited but thats to be expected but seems to be getting quite snappy these days and whines.
At first she loved...
