Mandy the Trained Border Collie ~ VIDEO

Little update...she did great in the car, obviously a little nervous, but a great traveller. Right when we got home, before I even took her inside, I took her on a brief tour of the outside of my small complex and then we went on a nice long walk. She really does great on the leash and rarely pulls. In fact, she walks right off my right knee, exactly where you would want her to. She did ok when approaching or passing other dogs, but did have to have some small corrections. We took a small break on our walk and I sat on a bench. She did bark at a passing dog, but she didn't really lunge. I corrected her. I don't think it'll be that difficult to socialize her. We'll see. I'll keep you posted! Brought her crate in and put my blanket on it. Gave her a treat, water and a little food so she'd know where it was. She drank and ate the treat. She still seems a little nervous, but is doing ok. She will go to her crate, but when she hears me moving around, comes back out here to lay on the rug. Think she's already starting to bond...she even followed me to the bathroom. We played a really brief game of fetch the purple thing inside. She went through her commands: sit, shake, speak and down. I'll update you as we make more progress. Am calling my vet in the morning to schedule her check up. ~ Rhonda
