THIS IS AWESOME! My favorite dog trainer and dog whisperer of all time has just released a free video online explaining how to eliminate 94% of all unwanted behavior in ANY dog. Her name is Krista Cantrell and I absolutely LOVE the way she teaches. Click on the video to watch. You'll be glad you did...

The level of intelligence is not the only determining factor whether or not your pet needs border collie training. Even though dog professionals assert that they’re one of the most intelligent dog breeds, border collies need to undergo appropriate training in order for them to show behaviors acceptable by humans. Besides, training is also one of the most effective ways to avoid and get rid of numerous undesirable habits your canine friend might have picked up along the way.

Timely correction. Every bad behavior needs to be corrected. However, the correction should be made as soon as you caught him in the act of doing the mistake. Correcting or punishing him a couple of hours after the deed is done won’t make him understand what he is being punished for. Like for example if you see a pile of poop beside the couch, calling and hitting him with a rolled paper is not going to make him understand that he is being punished for committing accident. What he’ll think of is that, he receives physical punishment for coming to you hence will urge him not to obey the command the next time you call him to come. Your constant supervision is essential in correcting your dog’s bad habits.

Being consistent. Being consistent is another factor that may result in effective dog training. Dogs are intelligent animals but they can only see black and white, there aren’t any gray areas in between. In other words, if you want to get rid of your pet’s jumping habit, stay consistent in implementing what you want. You can never get your dog to quit jumping up on you when you are dressed for a business meeting if you encourage the act when you are on your pajamas. By being consistent to the rules you would like to implement, you avoid confusing your pet thus helping him get away from that particular habit.

Never give in. The border collie is oftentimes|is usually deemed as tough dog taking into consideration their working ability, but like other dogs, they know how to use their charm to get what they want. Those brown eyes seemingly begging for foods or those soft whimpers to allow him inside your bedroom can be more worthless than helpful. If you’re really serious with breaking his bad habits, you should know better than giving in to all his whims.
