Paddi - I think they all are!

 

Heres my singing, dancing, bare eyed cockatoo from australia!!

Shes for sale if anybody is interested?

Shes called "Georgie" and shes been hand reared but my god she can be noisy if you are eating chips and you leave her out!

Shes 7 years old but these can out live us humans.

I have bred border terriers for the last 2 years also - not got any pics on computer though

 

Here's our Border Collie / Lab (?) cross pup 'Badger', at about 6 weeks old:



He's now 13 weeks old, and mahoosive!

 

Jamie - Love collies and yours is a cracker - very nice markings!

Now being a collie, I hope he will be taught multiple tricks?!

 

Awww Collie dogs are just the best

 

Already got 'sit' and 'paw' nailed, next comes 'down', 'speak', 'roll-over'.... any more ideas?!

 

I have just found this cute lil bugger

 

"Leave" is a good one as is "drop"

Put food in your hand and close it around the titbit.
The dog will try and get it - say "leave" clearly and as soon as he breaks contact with your hand, give the food to him.

Drop is the next progression.

We can put food on our labs (VERY greedy dogs if allowed!) paw, say "leave" and she won't grab it until we tell her too.

Also put a few bits of food on the ground, get her to pick up the first bit, then leave the next but until commanded, then the next bit, etc.

 

My big black/tan pain in the a**e, but she puts off the would be " I want your keys" brigade!
