Yep... that's why one pays a good professional to assess the situation visually, and independently, and from a place of experience. We all have our ideas... but nothing can gel until one spends time with the dogs in their own territory, and watches the dynamics. It's kinda like asking DR. Google ! You might come close ..however, a hands-on professional who has studied and seen it all before can diagnose best by being physically there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly. Kelpies are strong minded and like to be in charge. If you're bred to herd sheep and all you have is dogs, what do you do? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share Posted October 8, 2019 yesterday i just kept on the kelpie, claimed everything back from her, stopped the big girl from getting between us, i will try ball games and try to get her engaged in playing fetch, keep her mind somewhere else....

JRG Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Just watch that you don’t create jealousy between the dogs. I would never play with one of the girls unless the other one is confined. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
