The dog is very shy of new people but is getting better. That dog and run fast.

I don't think the dog needs any help. A border collie should have your son trained in no time.
Border collies need a job to do. They don't like sitting around. If you don't have a job to do, they'll find work on their own, and you won't like it.
I want one when it's time, but the wife says no way. The groomer says no way. The owner of the kennel we take our dogs to says no way. I think I have the wife talked into a lab / border collie cross, or something similar. I was supposed to get to pick the next dog when our Ginger passed, but my wife got the hound from the rescue. Hopefully it's a long time before it comes up, but the Scooter above is 10. At least his breath doesn't smell like death anymore.
