Hello and Welcome

 Nethhillbordercollies.
Learn the art of communication through using ®️"The Natural Way" to train your dog using the dogs own language.
Ive been shepherding for over 40 years.  My dogs have been my teachers and have taught me the art of communication.
Through demononstrations and education I want to pass on my passion, knowledge  and understanding of the Border Collie breed as to protect the traditions and heritage of the working dog.

​Smiddyhill Lodge was designed and built by Island Leisure. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is first class. The quality and sturdiness of the build has the wow factor. I would 100% recommend Island leisure to anyone, not only for the product but for the warm welcome and tremendous support throughout the whole process from designing, building and aftercare. We have had 100% positive feedback from guests staying at the Lodge.

Julie is proudly sponsored by Sneyd's Wonderfeeds working dog food unrivalled in quality and value. ​​I have been using Wonderdog for a few years now. Not only do my dog's love it but it keeps them in tremendous condition.  It has improved stamina for long days working on the rough terrain here at Carcant.

I have recently introduced  'Winston & Porter's Nourish + C Max Strength Joint Supplement' to some of my ageing working dogs. Just after two weeks I noticed improvement to flexibility and movement in my dogs.

The ground they work is steep and rugged, an unsympathetic environment that causes stress and strains to the dogs physique. I will definitely continue to use this quality product and recommend it to others.  Nethhillbordercollies
