Nowadays, there are many dog breeds available as pets, among which the Border Collie undoubtedly stands out. This dog has fur composed of black and white, with a cute and attractive appearance. Due to its natural intelligence and high IQ, it is very suitable for training. In the training process, scientific methods and commands should be used as assistance. Below, we share Border Collie training methods and commands. Let's take a look together.

1. Familiarize commands with food and toys

Training should begin when the dog is three months old, because cultivating good habits from a young age makes the dog obedient when grown. For Border Collie training methods and commands, the dog needs to first become familiar with the commands and understand their meanings. For example, when issuing the command "come," you can order the Border Collie to quickly come to the owner and sit down. During training, food and toys can be used as lures to help the dog better complete the command, and then the food or toys are given as rewards, which helps it familiarize with the commands.

2. The "sit down" command

When training the dog to sit down, issue the command "sit down." At this time, the dog's body will form an L shape. At first, it definitely won’t know what to do, so the owner needs to help it complete the action, then hold the dog's body steady for five minutes, repeating the command "sit down" during the process. After the time passes, give a reward to help the dog familiarize with the command. When the dog can complete the action without the owner’s assistance and sit immediately when hearing the command, it means it has become proficient.

3. The "eat" command

Training the dog to actively come to eat also requires command training. For example, after issuing the command "eat," if the dog does not come to eat, you need to bring the dog to the feeding area and tell it to start eating. After repeating several times, basically the Border Collie will learn. Actually, other command training methods are similar. The most important thing is to remain patient and continue training; after many repetitions, the dog can easily master them.

Above is the introduction to Border Collie training methods and commands. If you want your dog to master different commands and actions, the owner needs to patiently train and avoid too much punishment, which will prevent the dog from becoming reluctant.
