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

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.

I Want To Come To Camp!

What if I can't attend live?

Is my dog too young or too old to benefit from this Camp?

I'm not an experienced trainer, is this for me?

My dog is good most of the time but I have one specific problem, will camp help?
