One of the reasons I kept her instead of finding a home for her (she's a rescue) is because I couldn't stand the thought of someone using corrections on her and breaking her spirit. I love her spirit and her enthusiasm and I want to harness that and encourage it and channel it! Smooth Collies are pretty rare.. I just adore them, though. :) I tried to reach the link in your comment and it says problem loading page...

I just really appreciate your training philosophy about teachable moments and about seizing the chances to create the equation {fun+human=more fun!} For example when Tatum went kind of bonkers at the meet - instead of grabbing her and shoving her back into a pen, you made it a chance to reinforce the equation. Really nice to read about that. Also it's great to see the Smooth Collies. They are not overwhelmingly popular and it's good to see them going strong. Hi!
