My husband and have three dogs; Bliss is a 6 yr. old smooth coat Border Collie who is black and white with prick ears. I should have named her velvet because now that she is mature her coat feels just like velvet. Last summer we did a demo at a rescue in Flagstaff and I fell in love with Izzy, a wee pup at the time who is a Jack Russell maybe Border Collie mix. She has turned out to be the most incredible puppy; calm when she needs to be, playful when appropriate and so-o smart. Jerry's dog is a Border Collie, Diva who has a sweet personality and learns quickly. Jerry & I both do canine freestyle; I'm a WCFO judge and teach in Arizona. I just found this site and love it - how fun to share ways to teach and ideas. I was actually looking for ways to teach a couple of subtle natural movements I want to put on cue for a routine so went on line to search and found this site. I want to teach barring the teeth and am looking for a positive, straight forward way to teach this; any suggestions? : ) Sandy
