BC_semiownerbydefault Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 In need of guidance with border collie Posting for my boyfriend. My boyfriend’s family dog is a border collie and he’s 3 years old. First time border collie owners. He is super sweet, always up for cuddles. The issue is he keeps escaping and ripping things apart such as wooden bench this weekend, we fear he is going to hurt himself. About a month ago as well his dog brother passed away (10 year old lab which kept the BC on check) Though before the other dog passed away the BC would escape always.He isn’t neutered, so idk if that is what is causing the escaping? They walk him once a day for one hour everyday. He still escapes the backyard. I am thinking of walking him in the afternoons as well to make it twice a day. Any tips would greatly help.

adadrian Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 he is bored, a walk for one hour a day isnt enough. he needs mental stimulation more then anything else. i hike with my 7 year old bc for 3 hours a day and it isnt enough i need to play games with him. ball throwing tricks etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urge to herd Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 Semiowner by default, this part of the BC Boards is aimed at training dogs to work sheep and cattle. Scroll down a bit further on the home page and post there. A lot more people will see your post. Ruth & Gibbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
