"I don't know if you've tried this already, but you could try contacting a local border collie club and asking if they know anyone. I got my start in herding from a group of BC people. They were always doing something with their dogs so…"

"I really hope you find one! Herding is my new addiction and it is awesome to see the dog's brain "unlock" when they see livestock. Best of luck to you in your search!"

"Greetings, we live in Delhi, NY in Delaware county. Mind if we hang with you guys?"

"Update on Taste of the Wild. We are getting our money back from the company. Our dogs are not doing well on this, and we are trying Acana.  will spend 48 hours on brown rice and ground met.  All of our dogs got sick at the same time. …"

"For some dogs, one year is still very immature.  I wish you could find a way to rally and re-concentrate your efforts.  In agility they remind us that when a dog fails at a skill, you don't take them back one step, you take them back…"

"The hustle and changes around the holidays may have put her back.  I would wait to see if she improves after your house has returned to normal, if you can manage.   For the recall, I would play the recall game with her.   Make it…"
