My collie, Buddy amazes me with his responsiveness.  It's not just
that he obeys, there seems to be an intelligent compliance about it.
It's as if he gets happy just by figuring out what I want from him.
On the flip side he is incredibly handler sensitive.  Especially as
a young dog, he is 3 1/2 now, he would be crushed at the slightest
correction.  Fortunately, because of his sweet nature, not much
in the way of correction has ever been needed.

A few weeks ago we went to a Dog Agility Open House.  All the other
handlers were amazed at how intently Buddy focused on me.
Buddy loved Agility.  Does anyone else do Agility with your
collie?
