Have a 2 and a half year old collie pup i got from working parents. Got her as a pup, took a year and a half before we got her to stop charging in and gripping one.
The current situation is she knows right and left but will only go out 10 yards, sometimes 20. She will stop and ill tell her to go by or away again and she just comes running back.
She has a very strong eye, but all she want to do is stalk up to the sheep and wait till one breaks off and then try and grab it.
She seems to have no instinct to round up sheep. This is the 3rd pup in a row thats ended up the same.
My old dog was a great dog, sadly failed to get pups from him. And is now old and cant do much.
If she wont run now am i right in thinking she never will?
Looking like im going to have to try and buy a trained dog
