This is a question I have been asked to answer from a person in my audience! 

Do you have a ball obsessed dog? But your dog is also in the habit of chasing runner, bikes and everything that moves!

My first suggestion is to remove the ball from your Collie life… at least most of it! So how do deal with your ball obsessed dog if you cannot use the ball anymore? I talk about this in my episode!

Martina Miradoli Border Coolie Expert Dog trainer

Hello, my name is Martina Miradoli and I specialise in training Border Collies.

I’ve owned Border Collies for many years and have trained them, along with other herding breeds in every sport and activity available.
