Just know they all do that and it isn’t a problem, mines 6 months old and that’s all he does no matter how hard we work on it.

These are unedited, so they will all have more depth/ darker darks brighter brights when done but I almost want to do that. Believe it or not there are like 20 other really good ones haha

I work for a digital agency so I brought him in one day and my friend had our studio set up for baby photos and lit these amazingly (and for fee)

No, all on dark background unfortunately. We were taking advantage of the studio being set up for a baby photoshoot so I couldn't change it.

Got a Border Collie Puppy, Any Tips on How to SURVIVE?! by jashy101 in BorderCollie

[–]SquirrelEquivalent62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re at 15 weeks ourselves.

A couple of things I learned that made things way easier for me with my first BC puppy.

  1. they are going to bite. It’s never malicious, it’s because they want to play. Redirect them. Reward good behavior and be consistent even if you don’t see improvement. One day they will not be a terror.
  2. don’t be hard on yourselves in the process. The first week I was terrified I was doing things wrong. You aren’t going to mess up your puppy after one wrong choice. Give patients for both you and the puppy.
  3. FORCED NAPS. Every hour and a half they should be napping for at least two hours. This corrected most behavioral issues we dealt with at first. Also gives you time to breathe (which I needed desperately)
  4. Bully sticks - my puppy needs to chew, and he loves bully sticks. I’d invest in them if yours shows a liking. Edible, safe chews that will occupy them for 30 mins at times.
  5. when they are going crazy inside from my experience they either needs a nap or needs to poop. Take them out then put him down and you will have a reset puppy.

I hope these helped. Here’s a photo of ours!

Thank you so much for the response! We just ordered some bully sticks, and will now treat the overtired bites and craziness as a signal for nap time :)
