border collies are clever, responsive dogs that respond well to training, that is why the are the best sheep herding dogs, plus there IMMENSE speed!!!!!!!!!! Border Collies were bred to herd flocks. They need training to know when, where, and who they are allowed to herd. It is their natural want and need to herd, and they will even herd your kids around the park if you let them, but that should not be allowed. There should be specific training to keep the dog from nipping the kids on the feet if they are playing together and the dog begins to herd one child or another.
Are border collies good with small children?
Hi My family has a 5 year old border collie, and we have 2 cats and another dog. He is an amazing dog with a great and fun personality. We got him when our kids were young and he did great from the beginning. Make sure you have plenty of room for him to run around because all collies need to run and have space.
Are Border Collies easy to train?
Absolutely. As you probably know Border Collies are energetic and were used as herding dogs. Without proper training they can drive you crazy with their high energy (they need loads of exercise) and they can herd small children by bumping with their nose or nudging them. Border Collies are not generally snippy with children, but they don't realize how small a child is and could push a little too hard at times. Your dog must know who is boss and to listen on command. There are also special clubs around for Border Collie owners where everyone who owns a Border Collie can go for the fun, food and watch their pets run and play off that extensive energy.
Do collies need to herd?
