 You have already met Ellie, our Border Collie. In these pages I will keep you up to date with Ellie’s training and her progress. I will note her various milestones and development. I will discuss her training, behaviour, problems we encounter and how I respond to them using positive reinforcement (clicker training).
Please note that these articles reflect my own opinions and experiences. If you act on this information, you do so at your own risk. Please read my disclaimer.
Keep visiting as I will update these pages regularly...
