The American Frontier Litter - 2020
The following video is from our 2018 Litter.
Our 2018 litter of 11 Scotch Collie puppies was conditioned to sit quietly for a treat. We accomplished this by rewarding the desired behavior with treats, eye contact, and petting but we stepped back and looked away from a puppy when it was jumping, barking, or mouthing to seek attention.
Puppy Enrichment and Puppy Culture
When puppies arrive, everyone wants to be involved! Puppies require many hours of care and attention, but the rewards are so great. The first few weeks of puppyhood are filled with opportunities for early neurological stimulation, desensitization, socialization, and establishing training foundations. Click through to our puppy enrichment page to read about our puppy socialization methods. Learn about the time and effort we invest in each puppy to give them the best start to becoming a confident, biddable, family collie. You can also complete a Puppy Application Form so you can be added to the waiting list for your very own Scotch Collie puppy.
