Ever wondered if it’s good to let your Border Collie stare at things? In this episode, I dive into the natural instincts of Border Collies and whether it’s healthy to encourage or manage their staring behaviour.
Here’s what we cover:

Should you allow your Border Collie to stare?
Tips for pet dog owners and sport dog owners (even if you don’t have a farm).
Why it’s important for working-bred dogs to express their natural abilities.
The fine line between healthy instincts and obsessive behaviours.
Real-life examples of when staring is okay and when it can cause problems.
How to maintain control and balance your dog’s behaviour in different situations (like during walks, playtime, or around livestock).
