Are Border Collies easy to train?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Its the best dog you can have i have one and she's a star actually there's a picture of her on daily pets Its under border collie pups then she's the one with blue eyes and she's called izzy.

These are great dogs with high intelligence, work drive, and attention span. The main caveat is that you also need lot's of time to work with them. If you don't keep them working, they WILL find something to do and you're probably not going to like it.

Answer 3

Many are I have a 9 month old boy border collie and he is very soft but is very strong. I would recomend one to someone who has a lot of time on their hands as they need regular exercise and someone who is quite strong as they are very fast and strong.

Over all, border collies are great dogs for the right owner!
