Welcome to Yappy Hour, powered by Yappily - the podcast for dog lovers who want to build better relationships with their dogs!

In this episode, host Nathan Dunleavy is joined by Border Collie specialist and founder of That’ll Do Academy, Martina Miradoli. If you're living with (or considering owning) a Border Collie, this episode is packed with essential advice for understanding this intelligent, driven, and sometimes challenging breed.

We discuss:

  • How to meet their needs without over-exercising
  • How to manage behaviours like car chasing or stalking
  • The importance of mental enrichment & switching off
  • Training techniques that build connection & cooperation
  • Common mistakes pet parents make with Border Collies
  • Herding: When it’s appropriate and what to consider
