How do you teach a stubborn 3 month old border collie puppy to come every time you call her when she has figured out she only wants to come when she can see the treat in your hand?

just keep calling her name with the treat, but after a while, call her,-treat in hand- but when she comes, merely pat her on the head, tell her she's a good girl, but DONT give her the treat.
After a while, try hiding the treat from her view, but keep it somewhat near her, and call her, if she comes then, even if she didn't know you had the treat, then give her the treat, and after a while, don't even bother to take out a treat, but just pet her and encourage her with words. AS she get's older she'll come more willingly

What is a characteristic of a border collie?
Energetic among all things. Sometimes they can be a bit mean but only without proper training. Which is another thing. Border Collies are one of the hardest dogs to train. You need to read up on all the Dummies books and Idiots Guides they are all very helpful for first time owners. Border Collies also need plenty of room to run. If you dont have a big backyard, don't get a Border Collie. Without room they go insane. Even if you walk him every day he won't have enough excercise. With all the right conditions they are the best dogs you can have. I know that to be very true. I hope this helps and that I did not discourage you from getting a Border Collie. I promise it's worth it!

When will your border collie come into season?
Most dogs come into season approximately every six months (twice a year) but for some dogs it can be one to four times a year.
How can you know when you are ready to get a border collie?
You are ready to get a Border Collie when you know you can outrun a two year old child. Border Collies are active. #1 A large Fenced in backyard is a start. I started with a half of an acre, now I have five acres just for the dogs. #2 you must have patience and time. A bag of liver treats will help with your training. #3 you will need a kennell. Unless you have a large barn or an outside house for your dog out of the elements of the weather, you will need a kennell. A Border Collie without a kennell is Border Collie who will get in trouble. My first Border Collie ate my bed posts. Now I Kennell all my Border Collies that "come into the house" until they are fully training and "out of the puppy stage." #4 puppies need plenty of chewy bones that are safe for dogs. These are reasonably inexpensive at your local grocery store. Ask your meat manager to cut you some dog bones. They are three for $2. Dog toys and frisbees are a Border Collie Favorite. Make sure you buy the KONG frisbees that last longer. #5 A leash that is strong enough to hold a dog twice their weight. Border Collies may either chew through the lead or pull so hard they break it. Leash training is necessary for all new puppies. I consider Border Collies puppies until they are 3 years old. #6 Obedience training. First train yourself. THen the dog. If you don't, the Border Collie will train you. They are so smart that you will need to be one step ahead of them at all times. Just like that two year old child, you will need to be PRO active with your Border Collie. #7 Love. Each Border Collie has a need for affection. I hold a treat in my hand, next to my eye, and I call my dog's name. Then I give them the treat. I give them a treat when they enter the kennel. I call their name when I play frisbee with them. A dog's name is important. Your relationship to the dog is important. If you think you will be gone most of the time, the Border Collie is not for you. This breed needs attention, training, love and discipline. LIke rearing a child, one must be attentive to the growing needs of this breed. I don't recommend small apartments for this breed. Occassionally you will find a Border Collie with a calm temperment. But do not leave the Collie alone in your apartment without a kennell. You may find your furniture chewed. The rule I was raised with is DO NOT kennell your dog more than 3 hours. If you need to, bring in a dog sitter to let them out for an hour to run and play and have fun once every three hours. If a dog sitter is not an option, I would not kennell the dog all day. I would not get a dog. It is not fair to the dog. Outside dogs must have a doghouse, water, and a fence. I do not recommend tethering this breed, it would be inhumane.
