Frustrated in the lack of progress in your dog's training?
- The lack of focus on you
- The cloth ears that don't always listen when needed
- Their lack of interest in the rewards you are using
The Hidden Truth No One Tells You.
The problem isn't that your Border Collie isn't trainable. It doesn't mean you have a stubborn or unique dog. The REAL issue is that you haven't yet got the essential foundations in place that are needed to effectively communicate with your incredibly intelligent dog .
All it takes is a little patience and filling the holes in your training bucket.
Your Border Collie isn't stubborn they are waiting for clear communication that makes sense to them.


The Biggest Mistake In Dog Training.
Many want the end training result without understanding the steps the dog needs to learn to get there. They then feel that the training doesn't work because they start at step 5 rather than step 1.
But, by strengthening the essential foundation skills training becomes a lot easier for both human and dog.
Communication is clearer and the dog is more motivated to work with the handler rather than ignore them.
Team work makes the dream work
Introducing Virtual Collie Camp 🎉

Here's What Some of the Attendees Had to Say...
Helen
I really enjoyed the whole of the Virtual Collie Camp. I found the demonstrations and hot seats an extremely useful way to learn. After the 2 days I felt fully motivated to revamp and revise our training. In particular my marker timing. Still working on capturing the "shake".
Heather
I absolutely loved it. In fact, I'm rewatching the videos even now, and imagine I'll be returning to them again and again.
Andrea
I really enjoyed the combination of theory and practical exercises, it was a great balance that kept things interesting and easy to follow. Watching others train live was especially valuable for me. It helped me understand things better and gave me new ideas to try with my own dog.
Martine
I enjoyed how interactive the sessions were in addition to covering the topics. It felt like a safe space for sharing difficulties with putting training into practice.
Judi
The mix of theory and practical was great. The theory told us the possible reactions and why and at the practical we were then ready for differing reactions and understood why.
Hi, I'm Sarah Hedderly
I’m a dedicated dog trainer specialising in helping owners of Border Collies, and their crosses.
As a Certified Control Unleashed Instructor, Real Dog Yoga instructor and Force Free Trick Trainer, I've been running the Border Collie Academy since 2020. With the privilege of working with tens of thousands of Border Collies and their owners, I have amassed extensive experience with this remarkable breed.
I understand the dream of having a dog you can take anywhere. You want to enjoy walks and foster an incredible bond. I know that not all dogs come easy and my mission is to help everyone build the best relationship possible with their dog.
My dogs have been my biggest teachers. Mini is a sensitive soul who needs her training broken down into the tiniest of steps. Ding is a child genius who needs clear direction and enough stimulation to keep his busy brain satisfied. They have both made me read, learn and find new ways.
From my experiences I developed my innovative framework ‘DingBatt to Dreamboat’. DingBatt arrived as a rescue with very challenging behaviour, followed by baby Beau, a typical movement sensitive Border Collie, and now Sparkles who has been a delightful challenge to raise.
You can follow their progress inside of the Academy where I share a unique methodology to turn your crazy, car chasing Collie into a wonderful, calm companion.
