More information about this dog
Betsy the Amazing Frisbee Dog Border Collie x Labrador. She is especially known for being one of only 5 official active Disc Dog Teams in the whole of the UK & as a result, is a bit of a doggy geek in more ways than one!
Pet Acting / Modelling Ability
She is an exceptionally quick learner & extremely clicker savvy, meaning new behaviours often only take minutes to learn.
Betsy will take direction & work at a distance. She has and will work around other dogs she has been able to get familiar with and who respect her personal space. Her weaknesses include not being able to work with cats, but she has been in an arena with a Shetland Pony with no reaction off the lead at a major pet event.
She knows over 450 behaviours on cue, with many on hand signal/voice only. Betsy has been taught everything she knows 100% force-free.
