Lizmo Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Hi all Okay, so I'm having some problems using the search. I'm just trying to search for any and all threads about raising/training a BC pup. If anyone could help, that'd be awesome. TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruger's Dad Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 I just went to Search and then clicked on the More Search Options link. It will do a word search through any or all of the forums. You could spend days looking through everything. When I started training Ruger I used a $5.00 DVD from WalMart called Water Dog. It was based on the training techniques from Richard Wolters. He was a bird hunter. It had just basic training techniques that could be used on any dog. Don't forget youtube. It is full of training techniques and lots of fun videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSmitty Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Jennifer, does this mean you have news to share with us? Anyway, if you do "advanced search", you can put in different combinations of words. Unfortunately, puppy+training is still going to yield a ton of results that you might not need. Good luck!

BustopherJones Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 ATTENTION - EILEEN Jennifer may have hit on something. Would it be worthwhile to set up another board category that would contain worthwhile posts on raising a Border Collie pup? Just a thought...

Lizmo Posted October 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Jennifer, does this mean you have news to share with us? Heh, nope. Not at this time anyway. I've been in contact with Christine, but nothings final. Thank you everyone...I'll give it another try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudpups Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Apart from the excellent post you will find on these boards, there are some excellent training videos on youtube.com. Just search for dog training, and in particular clicker training, there are vid's for all the basic obedience as well as for teaching tricks.

Lizmo Posted October 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 I've heard not to do to much clicker training if you want to do stock work? FYI, I'm not very new to training dogs, I've trained many puppies before. Just not any BCs. hehe So I was mainly looking at things for training a BC pup. I'm getting the book "Lessons From a Sheepdog" so hopefully that will be of some help too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc4pack Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Clicker training is one thing and herding another... with the right breeds (ehem )...the sheep ARE the reward, being able to WOOOOOOORRRRRKKK!!!! You can't really use clickers to help with herding skills but there are quite a few clicker savvy dogs that have some good herding skills. And most BCs I've been around know the difference between the two training methods. Somebody want to jump in and explain the quadrants?
