Rated 5 out of 5
September 23, 2013

Border Collie Savvy is very informative and an excellent resource for training and raising a Border Collie. Our little man, Charley, is giving us so much pleasure with his many antics. His ability to learn is amazing. I would most certainly recommend Border Collie Savvy to anyone contemplating life with a Border Collie.

I didn’t realize just how different and special true border collies are. I owned a collie cross labrador who was wonderful, but the true collie is a lot more savvy! I thank border collie savvy for the contents and email help to understand about the dog more, it really has been a big help. my dog is much more responsive since your helpful hints and emails.

Border Collie Savvy has helped me understand the importance of being the pack leader and taking charge. We are still working on some things but so far things are going great.

Found you on Internet just typed Collie. my dog may not be a border collie but she is a collie everyone over 40 murmurs “Lassie” when they see her. I checked out several sites and my local library and came back to you as I liked your methods. Did the toy under the towel trick and found I have a smart very cooperative dog that loves attention and does not need treats.

would have been lost without your book...

Rated 5 out of 5
April 26, 2013

Having had a pair of labs (half sisters) previously, we thought all would be plain sailing with a pair of border collies. This could not be further from the truth as they have a very different temperament and without your book we would have been lost not knowing how to address many of the behaviour issues. Puppy school helped with the general training of our dogs but fell short of telling us what we needed to know about this unique breed.

written specifically to help Border Collie owners...

Rated 5 out of 5
April 26, 2013

Border Collie Savvy is truly a great resource, unlike anything you would find at a general book store or pet store. It is written specifically to help Border Collie owners learn and train their Border Collie, not any other breed. It comes from sources with specific knowledge and care about the breed. I am so glad that I purchased it and read it BEFORE we brought home our BC puppy. I felt very prepared and am certain that we are off on the right foot (or paw!).

resulted in very positive results...

Rated 5 out of 5
April 26, 2013

We rescued our Border Collie when he was approximately two years old. We’ve have some experience with them as our one female was a half Border Collie so we were reasonably acquainted with their “quirks”. Since he was a rescue (and I mean he was found running wild and living underneath an abandoned car), he had many obsessive compulsions and noise reactions that he needed help with. We did some behavior training with him as well as enrolling him in agility with great success (he needed to learn how to learn and build confidence). I found Border Collie Savvy while surfing the net one day and it looked like a great book to get to enhance his training and provide me with more information on the breed and what to expect. Everything we have done from the book has resulted in very positive results and I have recommended the website and book to other Border Collie people. Thanks for your help!

So many people have been telling me how much trouble Border Collies are, digging up gardens, barking, chasing cars, children etc. I bought the book Border Collie Savvy, to educate myself about Border Collies. I am so pleased to say that thus far “Bindi” our Border Collie is doing so well, no barking, or digging of gardens plus no sign of chasing, the book has helped in understanding the breed and of setting down good habits early.

The passion is evident...

Rated 5 out of 5
April 26, 2013

I received this Border Collie puppy out of the blue and I wanted to know more about this breed as I have never had one before. I searched the web for Border Collie specific and of all the sites I read and searched Fiona’s spoke to me. She, they really know this breed. After all where to better to find information than from where they originally came from. The passion is evident and I have totally fallen in love with this breed. I have a bunch of horses and every night I bring them in to their stalls from the pasture. In the past this process has sometimes taken time and difficulty. When I received this puppy all that changed. He (Dodger) had not had 1 ounce of previous training, but after watching me through this process a few times, this dog instinctively knew how to go out into the pasture and retreive these animals back to the barn, and with just a little more training, this dog can herd each animal into their respective stalls every time. It’s nothing less than amazing. I wish I would have considered them much earlier in life. Thank you so much for this connection with this truely amazing dog.

Harvey Is No Longer Destructive...

Rated 5 out of 5
April 26, 2013

I’ve never had a Border Collie before but was really impressed at how obedient they always seem to be when you see them on television doing agility trials. So when I saw a sign outside a local farm advertising Border Collie pups for sale, I couldn’t resist. Harvey, a gorgeous blue merle, joined me when he was 11 weeks old. Initially, everything went well – I’d taught him to ‘sit’ in just a few hours – but I hadn’t expected a puppy to have quite so much energy! I work 7 hours a day and I started having real issues with Harvey at home when I was gone. I got back one day and found he’d chewed up my favourite leather jacket and there was always mess of some kind. Thankfully, I found your Border Collie Savvy on the internet and have learned so much about Border Collies that I had never appreciated. Now, with your help Harvey is able to sit, stay, down, walk to heal and always comes when called every time. He is no longer destructive and we are having great fun learning some of the tricks you showed us. Thank you.

Thanks To You We’ve Managed To Get Control Over Slinky...

Rated 4 out of 5
April 26, 2013

Slinky is a 2 year old Border Collie cross (with a German Shepherd we think) who was in the rescue centre because her previous owner had lived out near a farm and Slinky had been caught chasing sheep. She was only allowed to go to an urban home and so she came to live with us. Unfortunately, as we found out to our embarrassment, sheep were not the only things Slinky like to chase! Cyclists, roller-bladers, small children…pretty much anything that moved, Slinky would be after it, barking madly. It was making our walks really stressful. Thanks to you we’ve managed to get control over Slinky and learned how to keep her attention focused in better ways. She really listens now and is a real joy to own. We were warned that older dogs are set in their ways and it’s hard to change behavior. Thanks to you we now know that’s not true.

Hi there. I normally can’t be bothered to give feedback on books I read but in this case I felt I had to pass on credit where credit’s due… It was great to find a guide just about Border Collies and I really feel it’s made a huge difference to my relationship with Charlie. I wouldn’t say I can read his mind, but I certainly know how he’s feeling and how to respond to his behaviour.

I rescued a border collie and wasn’t quite sure of what I was getting into. I simply couldn’t control my new dog and was in big trouble. Border Collie Savvy has turned everything around for me and Ruthie. I am a novice dog owner with a difficult dog but Border Collie Savvy has shown me how to work successfully with this breed and I have enjoyed every minute of it – and so has my nine-month-old pup Ruthie! People are amazed at how well she listens and obeys basic commands already. The difference is unbelievable. I can’t wait to continue working with her. The continuous email support and tips act as reminders and encouragement along the way. Definitely get this product of you want to understand your border collie and enjoy the training experience.

I just wanted to let you know that after just 4 days of working my way through your Border Collie Savvy with Jay, he can already sit, stand, come and lay down on command and is starting to get the hang of staying put too. He’s just lapping up the training and is so responsive, although I’ve found he prefers a game of tug with his cuddly rabbit rather than a treat as a reward. Thanks for making training such fun!
