The Complete Guide to Border Collies: Training, teaching, feeding, raising, and loving your new Border Collie puppy

Description

If youve ever seen a dog in a television commercial, theres a pretty good chance it was a Border Collie. Or, if youve watched herding competitions, youve probably seen a Border Collie controlling the herd. First and foremost, Border Collies are sheep herders. But when theyre not on the clock, they can make excellent companions. Theyre energetic, playful, and extremely intelligent. Theyre also sensitive, affectionate, and adorable. Even though this breed is still vital to livestock owners, we will focus on the Border Collie as a pet in this book.
Intelligence is perhaps the most prominent trait of the Border Collie. In the pasture, this dog can understand specific commands and respond accordingly. They also excel at obedience competitions and agility runs because they can pick up new skills quickly and respond to challenging commands.
