Hi All, I have a Border Terrier, just coming up to a year old- she is smart little devil, and I have a good bond with her- until a rabbit appears of course!
I want to take her riding with me, and took her for a walk on a lunge while I was leading my mare, so that the pup could get used to walking at Bo's shoulder and not get trampled on! I use the command 'close' and I think she is getting the message about a safe place to be.
We even did a few strides of trot.
My other terriers are totally voice trained, but this Border can go off and do her own thing and of course that won't do near a road.
Has anybody got any tips that moght help? I am taking it slowly and carefully at this stage- my mare is 100% with dogs around her legs.
Thanks! Sue
