The Border Collie, as the name implies, is a type of dog living in border areas. This dog originates from Scotland and belongs to the Collie sheepdog breed. It is naturally intelligent, understands subtle cues, and herding sheep is its instinct and nature. It can quickly comprehend human demands, so training this dog is not particularly difficult.

Training a dog is actually a process where humans and dogs play together and understand some communication from people. Of course, many times training a dog is not easy. Simply put, when training goes well, it’s humans playing the dog; when it goes poorly, it’s the dog playing humans. Raising and pampering pets is a very good thing, but many times while loving them, you also need to understand them! Dog training is not only a skill and a job but also entertainment and a way of life! A kind of life pleasure! As long as you master the method, raising and training dogs is never a troublesome matter!

To train a Border Collie, you first need to understand its living habits, preferences, and vulnerabilities. Dogs are not humans; many times they lack the ability to think. At this time, human roles must come into play. We need to cater to it and build a good relationship before gradually training it. The interaction between dogs and humans is actually a kind of give-and-take transaction.

However, this method must be controlled properly. Although you need to cater to it, you cannot blindly cater to its interests. For example, if it likes meat, you can’t give it meat all the time. When giving it, you must also set some requirements and tell it that doing so is beneficial. In this back-and-forth, the dog will realize, and subconsciously understand, that doing this has benefits. This will make training the Border Collie much easier in the future.

Finally, a very important point is that simple actions like going to the toilet, sitting down, lying down, standing up, and sitting down can be started at an early age. Around four to five months old is a good time for Border Collies because they are eager to learn and curious about things. Then biting things, fetching things, linking commands, and crossing obstacles can start around one year old. At this time, the sheepdog's physical strength, learning ability, and intelligence are all capable of handling these tasks. In short, this is a gradual and progressive process and should not be rushed.
