Definitely, I'm sure she still KNOWS how to stay but because it isn't exercised as strictly anymore it's not a big deal. That totally happens with Obedience

Personally, I'd get a nice solid crate for Happy and have her sleep in there so there's no danger of her attacking the birds. I really hate muzzles, but that's just me.

This totally convinced me. As much as I LOVE Border Collies, and I mean I'm in awe of them...never to get one! They're way too smart for me and I mean that as a height of compliment. Nothing you said surprises me. C'mon, despite your problem, you have to give her credit for tiptoeing in to the room and squeezing between and under a gate to get to her prey! I'm not making light of the situation, just commenting how clever she is! Sounds like she'd make a terrific agility dog.

lol oh ya I definatly have to give her credit for using her brain like that

I know she still knows stay lol but she likes to interpret my commands in her own way, I forgot she did that sometimes till last night I put her in a sit stay...so she stayed in a sit, she still moved around she just remained in the sit I mean in all technicality she DID listen, I did not say stay put, I just said to stay in a sit, perhaps I should have clarified? I mean what was I supposed to do? she did what I asked, just not what I meant lol there is a reason most BC websites tell you that if you want a BC you cant be afraid of your being being smarter then you
