Does anyone have, in addition to their poodles, a herding type dog? I have two spoos, a mini aussie and a bc/aussie mix. We adopted him from a sweet but "overwhelmed by his high energy" couple at a year old. He is now almost 2 and is scary smart, a quick learner and had earned his novice trick dog title before the virus shut down a lot of the classes I had planned to attend with him. I learn best face to face with my dog in a class setting but that isn't possible right now. Even though our training center is opening back up, I am a high risk category and my husband is a very high risk so going out and about isn't possible.
I love all the advice I have received personally and just through reading threads, regarding my spoos, but I cannot seem to find a like minded forum for my Brody. He is much like a very high energy, needs a job poodle, but there are a few aspects of his personality that are natural to his breed. My spoos have advanced obedience and my mix is (was) training for therapy work - she has a very unusual laid back personality. Brody however, is a firecracker and I feel like I'm not doing my best for him. If anyone else has trained or worked with a herder or can recommend a good site for their breed, I would appreciate it. I have been on a lot of positive training sites for my spoos and have several good recommended books (Patricia McConnel etc) that have come from this site. Sometimes though it helps to just talk with someone who has a like minded dog. Thanks for any help.
