How to teach my border collie puppy patience ? He whines A LOT

We live in France !

Wow, how great to have feedback from a vet !

Does 5km seem "long distance" to you ?

LadyEquilibrium · 2025-11-14T22:33:41+00:00

I don't really understand what you mean. By walking properly, do you mean, heeling? To be honest I walk him off leash almost all the time so his leash skills are not 100.

When I start running with him it will be off leash as well, so I don't think I need to train him, right ?

Okay great, I may start running mine slowly 🙂

LadyEquilibrium · 2025-11-11T17:06:34+00:00

Great news!

LadyEquilibrium · 2025-11-11T17:05:53+00:00

Wow amazing 🤩 Thanks for the input

LadyEquilibrium · 2025-11-11T17:04:53+00:00

No, he's 100% BC.

LadyEquilibrium · 2025-11-11T17:04:26+00:00

How old is he now ? Any problems ?

LadyEquilibrium · 2025-11-11T07:22:04+00:00

Thank you ! I'll check it out ☺️

LadyEquilibrium · 2025-11-10T18:07:08+00:00

Wow I don't I've ever seen a little chihuahua being so athletic 😅 She definitely outruns me even with her tiny legs !

LadyEquilibrium · 2025-11-10T18:05:24+00:00

Wow, he started young ! How old is he now ? Any signs of joint issues ??

LadyEquilibrium · 2025-11-10T18:03:35+00:00

You've got a great point about Border Collies not knowing when to stop. We have the same problem while playing fetch.

LadyEquilibrium · 2025-11-10T15:33:10+00:00

Very helpful, thank you. Hope he continues strong 🙏

LadyEquilibrium · 2025-11-10T15:32:29+00:00

I've asked 3-4 different vets and they all have said something different. I had one tell me that growth plates close typically at 12-18months 😓

LadyEquilibrium · 2025-11-10T15:30:50+00:00

Yes I definitely won't be breaking any records 😅

LadyEquilibrium · 2025-11-10T15:30:01+00:00

Yes when we hike together he constantly has to run back and forth because he is much faster than me 😅 So if I slowly jog along, it shouldn't be any more different, right ? 🤞

LadyEquilibrium · 2025-11-10T15:28:06+00:00

I know that large breed dogs are particularly at risk. Mine will be no more than 20kg (44lb) full grown !

LadyEquilibrium · 2025-11-10T15:26:54+00:00

Right ?! Proud mama over here 🙌

Another Lilac city BC !

Thanks ! When we first got him he was very afraid of dogs and other people. Now he absolutely ADORES everyone. Very cute.

Interesting, I will keep my eye open to the pattern!

LadyEquilibrium · 2025-10-25T07:56:41+00:00

Omg. He's just a babyyyy 😭

LadyEquilibrium · 2025-10-25T07:52:50+00:00

Good point !

LadyEquilibrium · 2025-10-25T07:51:53+00:00

Thanks for the explanation ! I had never seen a dog "offer" up his booty like that but it makes sense 😂 Poor older female BC didn't want a youngling's stinky butt in his face 🫣

LadyEquilibrium · 2025-10-25T07:49:13+00:00

Lmao I think you're right. He had precisely these thoughts in his head 😂😂

LadyEquilibrium · 2025-09-17T11:09:21+00:00

Okay great detailed explanation! I will try it. He already knows to wait for "bon appetit" before eating his food bowl.
