BORDER COLLIE TRAINING
SPECIALIST BORDER COLLIE TRAINER & BEHAVIOURIST
Located in Spalding, Lincolnshire
I'm Rachel Rodgers, and as the only ABTC-registered Clinical Animal Behaviourist (CAB) and Animal Training Instructor (ATI) specialising in border collies, I teach caregivers how to prevent border collie behaviour problems from developing AND how to resolve or reduce any problem behaviours that caregivers are struggling with. Successful border collie training involves a thorough knowledge and understanding of the border collie breed in order to identify the emotions and motivations causing the problem behaviour and help to resolve it.
What is the difference between a behaviourist and a trainer?
A collie specialist trainer teaches collies essential cues and good manners, or can help owners train for specific purposes or dog sports. The equivalent of a teacher.
A behaviourist helps when dogs develop behaviours that negatively affect their lives or the lives of people living with them. The equivalent of a psychologist or psychotherapist.
Always look for an ABTC-registered behaviourist or trainer!
Many insurance companies cover the cost of hiring a behaviourist
Many pet insurers will cover working with an ABTC-registered behaviourist if your collie has developed a problem behaviour such as aggression, anxiety, fears, phobias, car chasing, separation anxiety or repetitive behavours such as shadow chasing, tail chasing or fly snapping. Very few pet insurers cover working with a trainer, so finding a behaviourist is important for two reasons:
1. They are better places in terms of knowledge to help you resolve your collie's behavour problems
2. It will be cheaper if your insurance company covers you (check your policy).
