I have one for my medium dog and it works great, is there a larger, stronger run suitable for large, strong dogs? Please provide links or actual products, I have already been to several stores. I do not want a tie-out, he will just dig it up, I would like something that I can anchor into trees or something that he can’t break lose from. We have open property so I have a kennel for him but he needs to get some more exercise during the day while I am at work. Thanks!

Lollipop asked:


i’m looking into having my dog trained in obedience. he’s an extremely intelligent border collie, 2 years old, but he’s like a stroppy teenager, if i tell him off for stealing a baby toy that he knows he’s not allowed to have then he’ll throw himself to the floor like he’s going to sleep!! he also has days where he decides he’s not in the mood to listen to me so will do something naughty, if i tell him no, (i almost never shout at him and never smack him) he’ll do it again as soon as my back is turned.

so you can probably tell, he doesn’t need all the training like sit, stay, come here and all that, just needs to learn off-limits areas and off-limits things. i’d like to think one day i can come home and find he hasn’t ‘pinched’ anything.

so does anyone have any experience in having a dog trained? stories? and how much is it roughly?

ps, i did check with other collie owners, he’s getting enough exercise
