Episode 5: Border Collies with Barbara Sykes

She has grown up with Border Collies and been involved with canine training and teaching for over 40 years, competing in nine English National Trials and qualifying to be in the English team at the International Trials. Barbara has appeared on TV and written in national newspapers on the subject of Border Collies and dog behaviour, and is a member of the Canine & Feline Behaviour Association and the British Institute of Professional Dog Trainers.
