collie puppy

[MiniN]

i have a 13week old collie pup (called Jack, who my boyfriend rescued from the side of the road), who is totally hyper (full of energy like most collies).

does anyone have any ideas of different ways to entertain him and tire him out?

he has lots of toys, another dog to play with, a large garden to run around, gets 3 walks a day and lots of hide/chews to chew on.he still is full of energy though!

That's it, MiniN - you've got yourself a little bundle of energy that can't be worn out!! I've got a 4yr old border collie (supposed to be a sheepdog, but useless!!) - no matter how far & how long his walks/runs, he's still a bundle of energy. He's got another dog (Elsa, my GSD) and 5 cats to play with (he's better at rounding them up than he is the sheep!), but he never stops! Bless you & your bf for rescuing him and all I can say is "good luck & have fun!" - at least he'll keep you fit & healthy too!!! K xx

I have got to say I totally agree with Kleiber, as always :)

You have a lifetime of fun ahead of you MiniN. Do you know anything of Jack's history, or is his age a guess?

He sounds wonderful; our Collie is called Jack, he's 3 now! And I am still waiting for him to stop being a puppy...

Jack's girlfriend (!) got him a treat ball for Christmas-available at places like Pets at Home, you fill them with treats, then close the hole so your dog has to work out how to open it and get hold of the goodies! That keeps Jack occupied for a bit. He has also been given a treat pyramid, a bit like a Weeble (it wobbles but doesn't fall down!) with a hole in that, again, you put treats in, and your dog works out how to paw it around 'til they all fall out!
Anything that occupies them and makes them think is great, there's a range of toys in that line, so stock up! You will need all yuo can get! Many woofs from me and Jack to you and Jack!x

leelapops, the vet guessed he was 9-10 weeks old when we found him because he was so young and the vet was also the person to tell us he was a purebred border collie. he's a cuter and i agree, he will definately keep me fun and he always puts a smile on our faces!

I think I must have the only border collie in the uk who is a couch potatoe age 6, lol if she had her way she would laze around all day It is great that you have taken this pup on and wish you years of fun enjoy GypsyX
