If you don’t have work for a border collie or time to train it properly, your bright young border collie will invent his own work, and chances are you won’t like it. Donald McCaig Read Quote
It is the job of the dog trainer to summon the dog’s genetics, not to impose man’s will over dog’s. Donald McCaig Read Quote
