Jigsaw - Thanks for reply. Have consulted with two behavourists by phone - both of them wonderful & helpful, but neither can fit her in for weeks. Will try to find local clubs. Thankyou

Hi to everyone, Just wondering if anyone can help. My circumstances have changed. My beautiful hyper Female BCx has spent the past 6 years on 2 acres in the company of two great dogs. She's been in her element because both are ball crazy. She's spent her days rounding up & chasing them continually - who's needed cattle or sheep? Certainly not her! We are now just me the dog & the cat. Long walks are not enough for her - it's obvious she needs more. Not wanting to sound like a "soccer mum" - I would very much like for her to become involved with dog sports of some kind. Is it too late? Her life has been pretty secular to date. She is not well socialised. Unfortunately, she is suffering severe separation anxiety when I leave her. She is extremely obedient, easy to train & willing to please. Perhaps I should have posted to Behaviour? Any thoughts, ideas & opinions will be appreciated. Thanks Jan
