Learn dog body language
While our canine companions can’t speak to us verbally, we can learn a lot about what they are saying through body language.

Wanting to add a sweet new dance partner to your home? Meet the lovely Toby! 💃🐾
Toby is a sweet Border Collie cross with a heart of gold and a few extra toes that give him some extra flair on the dance floor! This gentle boy loves people and forms strong bonds with those he trusts, taking confidence from having his favourite humans by his side.
Like any performer, Toby can be a little shy before the curtain rises. New people and unfamiliar situations can make him a bit nervous at first, but with patience and encouragement, he soon finds his rhythm. He's social with both male and female dogs and would likely love a confident canine dance partner to help him navigate life's routines.
When the show is over, Toby is all about the after-party cuddles. He's a champion snuggler who would happily spend his evenings curled up on the couch with his family. He'd suit a home with older children who can give him a little space while he learns the steps of his new life, and he'd benefit from a family who is home often or willing to help him settle in at his own pace.
Toby can sometimes feel a little unsure of his surroundings, so secure 6ft fencing is recommended to keep this talented jumper safe. However, with a canine companion or a family around more often than not, he may be comfortable with 5ft fencing as well.
If you're looking for a gentle, affectionate companion with funky feet, sweet dance moves, and a personality worthy of a standing ovation, Toby could be the perfect addition to your family.
