**The Complete Border Collie Owner's Guide**

Your Border Collie is incredibly intelligent. The real challenge is knowing how to bring out the best in that intelligence.

Border Collies are extraordinary dogs-loyal, athletic, sensitive, intensely observant, and capable of learning at a remarkable speed. But the same traits that make them exceptional can also make them challenging when their physical, mental, and instinctive needs are misunderstood.

The Complete Border Collie Owner's Guide gives you a practical, comprehensive roadmap for raising a healthy, confident, well-trained, and fulfilled Border Collie from puppyhood through the senior years.

Whether you're considering your first Border Collie, preparing to bring home a puppy, adopting an adult dog, or looking to strengthen the relationship with the dog already by your side, this guide will help you understand not only what to do-but why your Border Collie behaves the way it does.

Inside, you'll discover how to:
