But the laser light brings the “ooooh, look at the pretty lights” obsession to another level. The red light must die. It NEEDS killing.

As such I don’t use it often, but if a nasty neighbor needs to have their flowers torn up or I need an instant hole for a fence post, or if I’m trapped in the desert with just my dog, a laser, and no water except underground… I know what to do.

About half of the border collies I’ve had (mostly the girls as it turns out) have/had extreme sensitivity to noise. All of them hate thunder, but that is easily cured with some liquid Melatonin from the Vitamin store…. works WONDERS over 4th of July, etc. Give a few drops an hour before the noise starts (or dose them all day given the bratty kids setting off firecrackers) and they never panic or get past the “what’s that noise?” stage.

Otherwise they’d chew through solid core doors to get away.

I’ve had several BCs that hate the sound of my mother sneezing (no one else, just her) and leave the room when she starts. One hates the sound of a duck quack or when a human makes the raspberries noise.

Given their over-the-top reactions to loud noise and lights, I suspect that a Disco is the BC’s idea of hell.

He also goes nuts over the lure. If he see’s any canopy set up similar to the Course a Lure sight at Wags for Wishes he thinks he is going luring. We have a flirt pole that he adores…anything for the lure!
