We are a dog family so enjoyed this read. We put time into training especially when dogs are young - result well behaved calm dogs. With what we are doing with specialist dogs these days they can be remarkably useful.

Our dog is very food driven. So much so that she tries to do as many tricks as possible all in one go to try and earn a treat!

As somebody whose co-worker is a Border collie, I found it interesting  :)

I find these techniques can also work on small children.

My daughter has commented that I did use much the same techniques, but whilst I might have called her by the dogs name, it was never the other way about  ;)
