If only we knew some people with good doggies! Alas, I'm more of a cat person and I think all dogs are #UglyDogs. 😬

I allowed myself to be bullied into entering our first obedience competition 😱 I’M AFRAID There’s so much to do before the show on the 11th of August.

Sean Bean is existing 100 yards away from me right this second

Whatcha up to Bine? “Oh nothing, just bouncin’”

Bine and I breaking in the new “camper van” this weekend.(it’s literally just a 2016 suzuki vitara with the seats folded down) Happy to report it’s comfy and the panoramic sunroof is worth its weight in gold. Might go out for a proper camp in the Lake District next weekend if it’s warm!

www.instagram.com/reel/C9Efj8U... We’re halfway through! 26 out of 52 weeks. I’m so proud of my big guy. He absolutely thrives in a learning environment and I adore seeing the cogs whirring in his brain, followed closely by the excitement he displays when he knows he’s got something right. 🥰🥰

Blair, Wickson is trying his chops as a lead dog. This little Pomeranian followed him for two laps around the dog park a couple days ago.

By the way, I think one of the reasons Wickson decided he liked it here is that about a week after we started hosting him, he nabbed an inch+ thick steak of the counter that had just come out of the sous vide and that thing was gone in about 2 seconds.

You hear that, people? Don't make the herders come after you!

Woodbine and Riker say GET TO THE POLLS UK PEOPLE! Don’t forget your ID!

I would like to send out an exasperated cry for help about the millenial obsession with grey. For context I do admin work for a window blind factory. Somebody sent me an order to process for a nursery and playgroup building.

Gooooob afternoon from sunny England! 22°C here today. Lots of pond fun to ensure the collie stays nice and cool.

www.instagram.com/reel/C8FdJoD... I had a feeling that Bine would know exactly what to do with a bell… and therefore I present to you the fastest Trick of the Week we’ve ever done. Accidentally aced it.

Oh, he is absolutely tiny, even for a Pocket Border Collie.

Air Bud should have been about Woodbine.

Hey. Hey you. Go do something nice for your dog. Make their day. Walk, treat, hug, beach day, hike, new toy. Just show me when you’re done so we can all look at happy dogs ⬇️

Does parachuting have a different meaning in the UK vs the US?

Me: Woodbine, seeing as your leg is sore I’m going to teach you a nice calm trick that involves absolutely no bouncing. Woodbine: um yeah, anyways (he sprained it parachuting. it is clearly not bothering him that much)

www.instagram.com/reel/C7Poiw5... Okay this one was very fun!

www.instagram.com/reel/C7ASkcF... A nice chill Trick of the Week. Rear foot targeting is a component of many other tricks so I wanted to get this sorted in order to expand our capabilities.

So… am I ALLOWED to bring him to the green or what?

www.instagram.com/reel/C6rY3Sc... Trick of the Week! We succeeded in getting him to open the door. Now I must be very careful not to store anything tasty within reach.

I didn’t picture life being this enjoyable 2 years ago. Dog people are the best. Dog people don’t shame you for wanting to include your best friend in everything. Dog people are on the same page, and we work to make sure that our entire social life is dog friendly.

Behold. A lovely purebread border collie
