So it’s been an eventful last few days with Max. He’s drinking in many different noises, smells, people and other doggies he’s meeting in the park. He’s an attention lover, and when he’s not pet by every passerby, he gazes after them, as if he’s wondering why they wouldn’t want to pet a cutie like him! He is great with people, gentle with kids, and everyone has mentioned what a well-trained dog he is. However, we are having some trouble with him at home. He is nipping a lot (probably due to teething) and has some issues with jumping up on me and my husband. As he’s just a pup, i think we could be better at training him and i’m wondering if anyone on here has any experience with training Border Collies. After a 3 hour walk, he’s still full of energy and seems almost antsy, and i have a feeling he needs much more mental stimulation. If anyone has suggestions or recommendations, that’d be great. He is such a love, and we’ve had days when he’s been so fantastic and just seems to be drinking in the attention and positive reinforcement. I think Max would really benefit from an adoptive home with plenty of space and an owner who has experience with training. I’ll attach some pictures below.
