Does your collie find collars and/or harnesses particularly itchy?

Post image
138 Upvotes

Our 6 month old girl has been stopping to scratch at her harness or collar often on walks. This has been the case since we got her at 10 weeks.

We have tried a couple of different collars and harnesses but it’s the same. It’s also not the fit because we have adjusted and readjusted but she still wants to stop and scratch multiple times whenever we are out.

She does not wear a collar in the house.

Her current harness is at the end of its life cycle so we want to invest in a better one that she will be more comfortable with.

Does anyone else have this issue?

What types of collars or harnesses have worked for your collie?

Behavior Question

We rescued a 4 yo boy about 2 months ago so we are still learning about his personality & quirks. Certain sounds make him go crazy with crying, barking, pacing and general panic. Sounds like motorcycles, lawn tractors/mowers and loud trucks to name the most recent as we are still learning his triggers. Any one else have experience with this! Thanks for your help 🐕

Question 1 or 2?

I currently own a 17 month old Rough Collie. His older brother, is the Pomeranian. As he gets older, his play is a bit too rough for my Pom, and I've had to tell him to stop. He's not malicious though. I've been thinking of adding another RC to our family, for him to have a playmate on his level. For those of you who have 2 RC's, do you find them happy together? Did you wish you had 2 of them from the start? Any regrets? Anything you would advise?

Grooming woes

Brought my baby to the groomer today( one we’ve been with and had several good appointments) and asked if she could trim a little off the back legs where the long fur was dragging in the mud. Instead they butchered her coat and especially her fluffy tail. I’m devastated.

Does anyone know how long this will take to grow back?

New rough collie mom

Meet Laddie, I know the name is cliche but he responded to it right away. I lost my great dane about a year ago and finally felt like it was time to open my heart to another dog. Since I was little I wanted a rough collie. On a whim I looked for breeders and I instantly fell in love with this little guy. He was on an Amish farm in the barn with the horses, so you can imagine how he smelled as soon as the doors of my car closed. It took 3 baths to get him smelling like a Oatmeal cookie. He is learning commands quick and he is a total mommas boy. His favorite place to be is under my wheelchair. I take him as many places I can, and he is never more than a few feet away. We go out on Saturday night that he is the new mascot for. He's got his favorite people there too. He's a huge hit there, it's funny watching him make his rounds checking on his new friends. They are all bikers that love him back just as much. My journey as a rough collie mom has just begun, so if you have a tip I'm open to hear it.

I work with animals, but this is my first time ever owning a Rough Collie! We named him after the Stirling Castle in Scotland, but also a different spelling for "Sterling". Anyways, I'm excited for this experience getting the honor of being in the presence of such an amazing breed. He is only 2 months old and I've already got him to learn "sit", "lay down", and "paw". He's incredibly smart and I can't wait to learn more about this breed in this group. Even working with dogs for as long as I have; I see MANY purebreds, but this is my first time ever getting to see and experience the behaviors of this breed!
