Calm Around Cars
Helping your Border Collie learn that cars don't need to be chased
Border Collies are a wonderful breed who have an intense herding instinct.
As many Border Collies find themselves in homes without a herding job, their natural instincts may be triggered by fast-moving objects.
If you have a Border Collie who stares, stalks, lunges or completely loses the ability to listen once a vehicle appears, then you’re in the right place.
Over six weeks, I will teach you how to help your Border Collie respond differently when they see moving vehicles.
Rather than trying to stop the behaviour once your dog is already reacting, we will work on changing what happens before they reach that point, and to help them notice a vehicle without feeling that overwhelming need to chase it.
I'm Yvonne
The Collie Whisperer
and I've helped hundreds of Border Collie Owners overcome this frightening, frustrating and difficult to manage situation.
I’m running my 6-week course to help Border Collie owners learn the skills that they need to help their Border Collie notice a vehicle withing needing to chase it.
No lead corrections.
No punishment.
No forcing your dog to sit and watch cars go past.
Just practical, force free and empowered training to help you enjoy walks with your Border Collie again.
What You'll Get
This isn't a course where you're given a collection of videos and left to work it out on your own.
For 6 weeks, we’ll work through this together.
Every Monday and Thursday you’ll join me, Yvonne, for a one hour live online session.
You’ll learn what to work on with your Border Collie, have time to put it into practice, and then come back so we can look at what’s actually happening with your dog before moving forward.
6 WEEKS
Step by step programme including a decompression lesson to get your dog ready for success.
12 LIVE SESSIONS
12 Hours with Yvonne, the Collie Whisperer
TWO SESSIONS A WEEK
Every Monday and Thursday you'll join me, Yvonne, for a one hour live online session.
SMALL GROUP
Limited spaces to ensure individual attention that makes a difference.
PRIVATE FB GROUP
Private Facebook Group just for course members, where you will be asked to share videos to review your dogs progress.
By the end of the programme, you'll have had:
- 6 weeks of structured training
- 12 live sessions with me
- Step-by-step exercises to practise between sessions
- Regular reviews of your progress
- The opportunity to ask questions as you work through the programme
- Support to understand your own Border Collie rather than just follow instructions
And most importantly, you’ll understand why your dog is behaving this way and what you can do to help them.
Using your own progress videos, I will teach you how to recognise your own dogs body language so that you know when they’re stressed (and what to do about it).
How It Works
Week one starts differently as we’ll dedicate the first session to DECOMPRESSION: reducing pressure and helping your dog’s nervous system settle. This gives us a much better foundation for the training that follows.
THURSDAY: LEARN
On Thursday, I’ll teach you the next stage of the programme. I’ll explain what we’re doing, how to do it with your dog and, importantly, why we’re doing it. You’ll then have the next few days to practise with your own dog.
MONDAY: REVIEW
On Monday, we come back together. We’ll look at how your training has gone, what’s working, where your dog may be struggling and what might need adjusting. This means you’re not spending weeks wondering whether you’re doing something correctly.
THURSDAY: MOVE FORWARD
Then we move on to the next lesson. And that pattern continues throughout the six weeks:
Learn → Practise → Review → Adjust → Progress
Rather than rushing through a generic programme, we’re building your dog’s training gradually based on the dog in front of us.
