Collies Uncovered: When Herding Goes Wrong

Here at Honest Hounds we are getting more and more collie owners joining us who are dealing with behavioural challenges, touch issues, dog reactivity and movement triggered reactivity towards bikes, children, and other fast movement. Collies are wonderful, incredibly smart dogs, but their breeding and instincts mean they come with a specific set of needs that are easy to misunderstand and we want to set you and your Collie up for success.

Join Jessie and Jess Williams, our affiliate trainer who specialises in touch reactivity and aggression and regularly boards collies. This session will also feature a real transformation story from Ellie and Ruby. Read Ellie and Ruby's story here: https://www.honesthounds.co.uk/ruby 

Over 90 minutes, we'll cover: 

  • An introduction to collies: what they were bred for and what that means day-to-day

  • Common misconceptions about the breed

  • How breed-driven instincts can spill over into behavioural challenges — stalking other dogs, nipping, and reactivity towards fast-moving things like bicycles or children

  • Practical tips, tricks, and troubleshooting for common struggles

  • A live Q&A, so you can bring your own questions to Jessie and Jess directly

This is perfect for anyone who doesn't feel like they're fully getting it right with their collie and wants to understand what's actually driving their dog's behaviour, so you can work with it, not against it. 

This is included for anyone on our Coaching. Find the full info here if you’re a Coaching member.
