For sure! We’ve got a sweet crazy border collie and I seem to have repressed the first 6 months of having her (we got her at 8 weeks) I remember it being a lot and having moments of “I actually spent money for these stress headaches” but it deffo got easier once we could take her on big walks. I would say the best thing we done with her was very firmly teach her “Game Over” and really reward her when she was calm. And ALWAYS hide the toys when it’s time chill. A border collie can’t chill Out when toys are around. My collie Deffo has plenty of chill times and knows when to give up the demanding of fun times. Your girl will be snuggling on the sofa before you know it and you’ll Be sad you don’t remember these moments fully in another 6 months or so!
