Dog Training for Border Collie owners throughout Bristol, Bath and across North East Somerset.

Are you struggling and fed up with your collie taking over your life?

Are you feeling exhausted, frustrated, and anxious because of your dog’s behaviour?

For many owners, living with a Border Collie just isn’t how they imagined it would be. The life you had planned together hasn’t turned out as you had hoped, and by now, you’re most likely at a crossroads, not sure where or who to turn next.

WHAT ABOUT THESE STATEMENTS, DO THEY RESONATE?

You no longer enjoy walking your Border Collie due to how they are behaving on walks.

You feel guilty and worry you aren’t meeting your dog’s needs anymore.

Your dog’s behaviour is having a wider impact on your life, your relationships and your stress levels.

You are worried about the future and the impact of your dog’s behaviour if things don’t change soon.

We can change all of that TOGETHER..

In a kind and EFFECTIVE way.

What you are dealing with VS what you want.

A border collie who..

Is stalking or chasing cars, bikes or people.

Is dragging you on the lead
Is lunging, barking, or even growling at other dogs or people
Is stopping your from having you family and guests visiting
Is unable to settle without constantly nagging you or attention seeking behaviours
Is sensitive to noises, and under confident or frantic in new situations.

Is able to pay attention to you in a variety of scenarios.

Is able to walk calmly by your side without pulling.
Is able to ignore people or other dogs.
Is able to relax when people are invited into the home.
Is able to settle and switch off leaving you free to go about your day and able to put your feet up in the evening.
Is confident in new and unfamiliar environments, level-headed and able to recover from strange or sudden noises.

It doesn’t have to be this way, it is possible to shape the behaviours you want from your Border Collie (without using harmful training techniques).

You deserve more. Your Border Collie deserves more, and you don’t have to do this alone.

Are you ready to start living life with your border collie the way you dreamt it would be?

To have the relationship with your dog you always pictured.

from highly distracted to well rounded

“With Jess’ help our border collie went from a highly distracted dog that couldn’t see another dog on lead without planting and refusing to move/not being able to go off lead as we couldn’t recall him from other dogs, to a well-rounded dog that can ignore others and is off to his first agility competition at the weekend! he now seems an all-round happier dog”

Hi I’m Jess, owner and founder of Collie Encounters. My mission is to help as many Border Collie owners as possible to live a happy and fulfilling life with their dog.

I’ve worked with dogs and supported dog owners for over twenty years using positive reward methods. For ten of those years, I worked across four different animal rescue centres and was head of training and behaviour at Teckels Animal Sanctuaries.

However, nothing prepared me for my first border collie! At just 12 weeks he shadow chased, tail and car chased, was food and dog aggressive and he never stopped to rest…

I thank Red every day for being the truly amazing teacher he has been.

Our struggles led me to learn everything I possibly could about the border collie as a breed and gave me the passion and empathy to help and support border collie owners who are really struggling with their dog’s behaviour issues.

I love seeing owners’ eyes light up and their hearts sing when they start to understand their dog and the joy they feel when they can really connect with them through border collie-specific training.

In the last few years, Red has also sent me into a whole new world of holistic, herbal, and nutritional therapy, which is often the missing piece in the puzzle for owners when training their border collie. When we can heal the body, we can heal the mind

“Jess has been with us for over a year now. She has helped us train our puppy (when we first got him he was quite distractive – no fault of it’s own, just being a puppy) through one to one sessions.

We would highly recommend Jess for her knowledge, attentiveness and willingness to work with the dogs and owners to improve their bond. Our dog loves her (which makes us jealous at times)!”
