December 17, 2024 Episode 79: Neutrality vs social skills, with Anja Andjelic from the DogNerd
Something about Anja:
- Involved in dogs in some capacity for the last 10+ years
- Started training other people’s dogs in 2021; I now focus on helping people better understand and live more harmoniously with their “big feelings”, high energy dogs.
- She doesn't really “specialise” in border collies but most of my clientele happen to be BC owners and that’s the breed I have most experience with.

October 29, 2024 Episode 76: Optimal Arousal with Hélène Lawler
In this conversation, we discuss the critical role of arousal in dog training with Helen. We emphasise the importance of understanding both the dog’s and handler’s arousal levels to achieve optimal performance in dog sports. We talk about the complexities of canine behaviour, particularly focusing on the concept of over-arousal in dogs, especially working breeds like Border Collies. We explain how over-arousal can affect a dog's ability to perform tasks and how it is often linked to their genetic programming. We also highlight the importance of physical health, right exercise outlets and handler awareness to support dogs effectively. We stress the significance of understanding a dog’s behaviour in the context of their physical and emotional well-being, advocating for a compassionate approach to training and handling.
In this conversation, we also explore the complexities of dog ownership, focusing on the expectations that owners have versus the reality of training and living with dogs. We emphasise the importance of understanding the dog’s behaviour, the handler’s mindset, and the need for proper skills in dog training. We cover the differentiation between arousal and reactivity in dogs, the significance of mental stimulation and free movement, and the role of medication in managing dog behaviour. Throughout the conversation, we share insights on creating a positive and effective training environment for both dogs and their owners.

September 16, 2024Episode 74: Is it ok to let my Border Collie stalk?
Ever wondered if it’s good to let your Border Collie stare at things? In this episode, I dive into the natural instincts of Border Collies and whether it’s healthy to encourage or manage their staring behaviour.
Here’s what we cover:
Should you allow your Border Collie to stare?

Tips for pet dog owners and sport dog owners (even if you don’t have a farm).

Why it’s important for working-bred dogs to express their natural abilities.

The fine line between healthy instincts and obsessive behaviours.

Real-life examples of when staring is okay and when it can cause problems.

How to maintain control and balance your dog’s behaviour in different situations (like during walks, playtime, or around livestock).
