    We're starting training in a couple of week. I know I need it! I actually pulled a muscle in my back yesterday because she was tugging at the leash so hard.
    (To be fair, she's generally excellent on the leash. There were 2 squirrels dancing on the sidewalk in front of us.)

    Good call! Border collies are smart and will respond well to training.

    My dog is a border collie/lab mix and has a number of border collie attributes, and I adore her. She's so smart and fun to play with. And when I walk her I do have to be firm with her when it comes to squirrels and bikes. She used to try to herd the cars that were driving out of the neighborhood in the morning until she realized it was a lost cause.

    A marrow bone every day is real calming, as is the chance to run hard and to play with other puppies.
