I have a two year old Kelpie/boarder collie cross which my children rescued from a welfare agency. We don't know her history and have had her now six months. Evie is the most beautiful and a very smart loving dog. At times very timid and we assume this is because of how she was treated or what happened before our family. She is also very obedient in the home and yard I could not want for a more loving and fun dog.
Our biggest issue is walking at the park...I know these dogs need to have a run and she will run around fetch balls and come back everytime....UNTIL she starts to notice a few other dogs and then she seems to have a switch that flicks in her head and she runs around these dogs herding them up and its is very difficult to get her back....I know she can hear me and I know how smart she is but she just goes into this zone and wont' listen. I have tried a 30 metre lead but she does know when its on and off
Does anyone have any advice or methods to use with trying to get her to return when called in this situation
thank you
