• I really like this book. As a longtime border collie owner, it is refreshing to find a book by an author who truly knows the breed and truly understands the unique training issues. Also, Barbara has some fantastic suggestions, that I as a veterinary nurse and dog trainer, had never heard of! I have implemented a few already with my new pup. Caution to the reader there are a few issues with medical science inaccuracies. For example, the author warns about too much exercise too young causing hip dysplasia - not true. It's a genetically passed condition and either the individual has malformed hips at BIRTH or not. (Exercise too young can however affect other joints and bone formation..) Also, some of the comments about nutrition are based on myth, not sound medicine. But if you get past those issues, this is a useful and valuable book for border collie owners. I went right back and bought her other book about BCs.
• This book not only tells you what to do, but helps you understand why and potential consequences if not done (or done inconsistently). I will read her two books over and over.
• This book is great! It is filled with valuable information as well as full color photos.... It not only gives info on caring for your border collie and teaching the most crucial manners, but it actually goes in depth on the breeds history and the character traits associated with each type of border collie. A good book every border collie owner should read!
• This book is very well written, makes for very good reading and has lovely BC pictures. Best of all, the practical hints I have used with great success. Thank you Barbara for writing this book!
• I am on my second border collie and this book gave me a lot of new understanding about dogs and how they think and behave.
  Concrete training advice, case studies and a lot of nice pictures makes it a very good read.
• I chose this rating because I found this book very easy to understand and follow the instructions. The shepherds comments were insightful the photos were also helpful
• This book has lots of important information for a border collie puppy owner. One of the most important things we learned that border collies nipping are not rounding you up, they are playing. With that, lots of tips on how to fix. Worthwhile book.
• very helpful
