We are getting our first foster tomorrow! he is a 6 month old Border Collie!! He is very cute, he did go to a home but has gone back to the center as the people said he tried to "kill thier cat".... he was put in the rescue because he killed some ducks/chickens.
.
I'm trying to think of the things that would be the most important for him to learn and what in order. I taught Oka all random things and some times this has worked against us. First is getting him on board with the clicker, then i think:
He's not interested in toys but loves people and is good with dogs. I don't know how long i'll have him for, not long i hope; as i really want a Collie - i don't want to get attached!!

- Look, Wait and Sit (asuming he doesn't know these)
- Lead walking (though says that he "walks well" what that means is anyones guess)
- Leave and Recall (nose touches/5 minute games a la Susan Garrett)
