Jo takes a fascinating deep dive into the mind of the Border Collie with Barbara Sykes, the owner and founder of Mainline Border Collie Center and The Freedom of Spirit Trust for Border Collies, and the author of 7 books including Training the Sheep Dog, Understanding Border Collies, and Understanding Your Dog, with a new book on the way at the end of the year. 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.
