Hobbit Posted January 13, 2003 Posted January 13, 2003 Some Border Collies are sound sensitive. Some bloodlines carry a genetic trait of being fearful. It may be a personally trait and there isn't much you can do, but just deal with her how she is. If you've taken her to classes, socialized her and nothing seemed to help. Then I would think it was inherited. Always let her win at everything she does, this also will help to build her confidence. Personally, I would not scold her or lose my patience with her for being fearful, she may not be able to help it. Always be on a happy note around her. Some Border Collies are so sensitive that they try to bear the entire weight of the world on their shoulders and they pretty much think that everything that happens is their fault (good or bad).
