It's been ages since she was in season.....almost a year.......I suppose being around her mum makes her less mature........ours also get practice most days.......not when it's icy......
I will interact less when in and out the house, that's a good idea as Steve only fusses them on his terms and he leaves them alone, and Sally...I do chat to them on walks, all I have to do is say"no, don 't do that and they will not,".They also do and are allowed to run free as well on walks, we have a good routine, they run off on thier own first, then I tell them where to go, and if dogs or people on bikes are around I call them in but when we decided to turn around, they all will walk to heel.........its like majic...
Collie women, I also think its hormones, she caries the toy a lot at the moment, my daughters female used to carry a plastic sausage around when in the run up to her season........
And not too sure lof lowering the protein level, the currently have Dr Johns Gold and seen fine on that.....
Anyway, her sisters are visiting tomorrow.
