SECRETS OF THE WORKING MIND By Carol Price

BORDER COLLIES: A BREED APART By Carol Price

Book One: SECRETS OF THE WORKING MIND 

The first book in a three-part series by Carol Price, author of the best-selling Collie Psychology.

Her mission is to help us achieve a better understanding of the complex and highly intelligent Border Collie breed and the best way to manage them to create a happy and relaxed dog. She does this by taking us back to the origins of the Collie, describing how the genetic make-up of the founding dogs and the traits that they were bred for have influenced the character and behaviour of the Border Collie today. In doing so she helps us appreciate what motivates the breed and how they perceive the world around them. 

She also looks at the similarities between how the mind of the Collie works with that of an autistic human and poses the question: does an autistic spectrum exist in the breed?

This is a very comprehensive look at the traits and behaviours you may recognise if you own a Collie, why those behaviours exist and how that affects how you might best train and interact with your Collie.
