Cover photo description:
A Kelpie needs a balanced environment in which to develop satisfactorily. By this we mean that he needs stimulation by training and handling and some peace and quiet in which to reflect on his lesson. In other words, the Kelpie which is over-stimulated by constant excitable activity children playing etc. will develop into a highly-strung excitable animal, unlikely to be reliably obedient. Conversely, the Kelpie who rarely sees his owners during the day such as the â€˜workingâ€™ family who are only at home in the evenings will be likely to develop bad social habits such as excessive barking through boredom, working the fences by running up and down, and so on. These dogs are over-reacting to normal suburban activities which a dog in a properly balanced environment would cope with in a normal fashion. For example, where a dog has an owner with him during the day, there is an opportunity for the owner to correct the dog when he begins to bark at the normal routines of the neighbours such as passers by, backyard activities
