I recently obtained a neglected Border Collie. He is registered and I just sent to get his papers from the AKC. His name is "Fuel the Fire of Zorro". I know it's strange, but we like it. We call him Zorro. He wasn't properly excersized. He is 5 months old and has so much energy, he out of no where flips up in the air, just like a guinea pig would popcorn. He has landed on his neck and his back and I'm afraid he'll be hurt. Also, I am trying to teach him to play frisbee, but don't know how. He stays by my side when off lead and I think he's ready. My vet owns a big pasture that has a solid fence he will let me use to train him. I would like to do agility, frisbee and some cool tricks. He knows sit and lie down. He's learned that in 2 days. Also, what collar is best. He pulls but not bad enough for a pinch collar. We tryed the Gentle Leader and the Halti, but he hates things over his nose and chews a harness. I was thinking of a chain collar from Petsmart. It looks nice and is a chain.

Here it is. I already have a 1 inch double layered black leash. It's over durable for his size. He's about 20 pounds now. He is smooth coated. Also, is it okay he sleeps on my loveseat. My couch is my bed. Also, do I need to get him a flea collar. He's outside during the day. It's cool with him. He loves it.
