Border Collie Dog Training With Specialist Martina Miradoli
Everything you need to understand and train your Collie from puppyhood to adulthood with Collie Club & 1‑to‑1 Coaching.
In person and online specialist dog training & behaviour for your Border Collie!
Border Collies are smart, active and hardworking dogs. They’ve been bred for generations to do a very skilled job, based on response to movement, focus and true instinct. They need more than just walks and basic training to stay happy and out of trouble.
If you’ve got a Border Collie or are thinking about getting one, it’s important to know how their mind works. Without the right kind of mental and physical stimulation, they can easily become anxious, overexcited and develop reactivity or sensitivities that makes leaving with them hard work.
That’s where I come in.
I live and work with Border Collies every day not just as my pets and beloved family members, but on my farm and in dog sports too. I know what they were bred for and I use that knowledge to help you train and understand your dog in a way that actually works.
My programme uses kind, modern training methods that focus on building trust and a strong relationship. You’ll learn how to teach your Collie the skills they need, while growing your own confidence as an owner. I’ll guide you step by step so you can bring out the best in your dog, without stress or conflict.

“I found Martina and That’ll Do Academy through her podcast Border Collie Geek; I live in the US, but the Collie Club has helped me infinitely with my reactive-to-wildlife border collie Flora.
I am learning so much through her instruction, other members’ experience, and also through watching the wealth of online training modules and webinars.
I couldn’t have done this without That’ll Do Academy! It helps infinitely to understand your puppy through the perspective of their breed, and to learn management that integrates well into your daily life.”

Happy Clients
“Our Border Collie Javier had strong reactivity to cars, bikes and joggers so we signed up for Martina’s 12 week boot camp.
It was absolutely brilliant. Her advice on the basics with Border Collies was a real eye-opener.
She taught us different games and tricks to keep Javi focused on us and was so knowledgeable on how a Border Collie thinks.
Javi is a million times better now although we are still working on training with him as this is an ongoing program.
However, Martina has equipped us for the future and we couldn’t be happier.”
