I love the e collar! Sammy is hardly chasing the cars at all any more! We HAVE to get him to quit this so the puppy doesn't learn it. Chasing moving things is def hard-wired in Aussies so we don't want to encourage chasing cars AT ALL.

That’s awesome!!!! And totally understandable!!!! I couldn’t believe the difference. Brew NEVER just walks by like that LOL in fact, yesterday I forgot the collar and a dog went by in the same exact spot except coming from the opposite direction as today and Brew lost it! Went bananas! Lunging, pulling, whining, crying, etc. It was embarrassing. I reeled him in, of course, so he couldn’t get to the other dog and we did the same thing as today where we just kept walking because he needs to learn how but still. I will NOT be forgetting the collar from now on. Both times though I thought to myself “we won’t run into anybody. It’s too early/late/cold/dark.” Clearly not true LOL

Your border collie is gorgeous. Red is one of my favorite colors in dogs.

Shrek, what kind of collar do you have on Brew? Or do you have him in a harness?

He’s just on a regular flat collar from Gun Dog Supply. I think it’s biothane.

When you walk him, that's the collar you use?

Oh, no. I use a martingale when I walk him.

Willow did ok at practice tonight, not her best but it wasn't bad. It was our last practice before the show but luckily my trainers will be there too.
