ok guys! got 8 month collie puppy just gone in2 season!

I sympathise - when my working ockcer bitch came into season at 9 months I had exactly the same problem. There are a couple of things you can do. Find a time of the day when there are very few other dog walkers around, eg early morning/later night, and walk her then (and don't let her out of your sight!). Make sure she has a solid recall.

As well as that, you can give her shorter walks combined with teaching her some tricks using clicker training which will exercise her brain. A few minutes of clicker training is supposed to be worth several times the equivalent time in physical walking.

Good luck!

leash only!...kick any dog that gets amorous.....and stick to beach early morning /late at night....then when the bleeding starts either put up with it or use knickers with a tail hole and sanitary towels/nappy etc!

Suggest that after she has finished her season you have her spayed, makes life a lot less stressful
