Hey! two time border collie owner here. First one was a rescue, VERY VERY nervous. Didn’t have kids at the time and walked her a lot. Took a lot of work to get her to just be “normal” but she was an amazing dog around kids and other animals and very chill. Fast forward 15 years and I now have a 15 month old registered border collie who is amazingly well behaved with just adults but struggles holding it together with children. Any tips to break the “stare” or “one leg hopping” or “following” the children around?

Thanks for the response. It’s odd because he seems to know he’s not supposed to do it. Tell him to knock it off and he backs up and “hides” behind a chair or something and is still doing it lol. It’s been really hard. He keeps offering behaviors but most all of them involve doing some form of the same thing.
