Nana the Border Collie Performs Amazing Dog Tricks

Nana is available for print ads, commercials, film, and other media work. If you are interested in using her for your project, please contact us: www.useyourclicker.com/need-a-...
Incredible dog tricks performed by my best friend: a Border Collie named Nana! From footstalls, to walking front paw handstands, to running backwards, Nana does it all.
All of Nana's training is done exclusively with positive reinforcement and clicker training. Nana chooses to do all the behaviours in this video, and when she performs a trick, she is rewarded with lots of praise, toys, and treats. She loves what she does, and to her, "training" is all just a big game we play together!
My goal with my training is to show the world that anything can be achieved with positive reinforcement! Remember always to use positive training methods with your dog.
No video is sped up or reversed. Nana just likes to perform her tricks fast, and she really is walking backwards.
Nana knows many other tricks that are not included in this video. Be sure to check out her other videos for more amazing dog tricks!

The only thing that keeps me from getting a border collie is that I cant stand losing at chess.

[@anthonystjosephi2433]

LOL! Okay, you killed me with that one!!!

[@aaronroy7666]

Anyone that dislikes this video for any reason obviously has never owned a border collie. I have 2 and believe me when I say that all these dogs want to do is work and please it's owners. They are too smart for their own good and are extremely neurotic! Best dogs on the entire face of the planet!!

[@Chadontey]

That dog is smarter than some people ive met

[@kellydrake1294]

My son was about 18 months old when we went somewhere that we needed him quiet for a couple of minutes. We searched KZbin for a video with a dog (he loves dogs); it came up with Nana. He turned 2 today, and doesn't have many words yet, but he does clearly ask for "Nana" and points to the phone or computer to ask to see your wonderful dog!! He laughs and dances while he watches her! She's adorable!!!

[@swordnquilstarskgrem]

This is a HAPPY dog! Look at her! "Hey! I'm doing what I was born for! YES!!!!"

[@bastloki]

The thing I love most about this video is that Nana is clearly having tons of fun learning and performing these tricks. Nothing better than a happy pupil!

[@elianakennedy3297]

Nana is so happy, she was definitely brought home to the right house. She brings happy tears to my eyes every day

[@DraGunnTiss]

I am not a dog person, but WOW!! Nana is a BRILLIANT dog, and you can tell she is well loved, the joy she expresses doing the tricks, and her tail wag..she's won my heart!

[@Brendenrobbins]

Maybe nana made this account

[@EUROWEFILMS]

Like wow...still wiping tears from my eyes...I have had border collies over the years but sadly not now for 16 years... video brought everything back. None of these moves are a result of cruelty I will confirm, the breed loves to interact. I am a builder & upon occasions my Collie, Winston, would clim a ladder onto scaffolding to be along side of me such is their desire to be with me... he had to be carried back down upon my shoulders. Many other things he invented himself...Thank you so much.

[@ecbennyj8078]

How can anyone hate this video?? This dog is awesome!!

[@lostinfflood]

As an owner of two Border Collies I have a special affection for this video. I love the dog and you obviously put a great deal of hard work into training her. Well done.

[@maiaalvergreen5841]

Border collies are some of the smartest dogs . Amazing!!👍

[@giorgiodageek8877]

Wow Nana is incredibly beautiful and intelligent. Her facial expression when she looks at you is almost as if she is capable of all the human emotions and feelings. She has such a wonderful spirit to her it's so remarkable.

[@umutbudak8245]

haha love how when nana brings the newspaper its all chewed already!

[@chanceboudreaux4882]

smartest dog in world

[@karyshughes6671]

I agree

[@bishnupoudel5798]

[@esterjacobsen1730]

chance boudreaux yes

[@NanaBorderCollie]

In response to Sara Beth Cox's comment (which I am unable to reply to): The coffee table trick is a fun and colourful way for the dog to practise impulse control. This is the same concept behind the "treat balance & catch" trick, as well as halting on cue whilst chasing after a stimulus (toy, squirrel, car, etc.). Impulse control is an extremely important skill for any dog to have that could save the dog's life. There are many fun ways to practise impulse control, including following cues before retrieving a favourite toy (as outlined in this video of Nana, at around 0:24: kzbin.info/www/bejne/majdc4eVhdtgp6s) or with simple, fun tricks such as the coffee table trick. Nana gets rewarded royally after removing the items from her bottom, no worries. ;) And trust me, if she didn't enjoy doing the trick, she wouldn't do it. End of story.

[@SaraBethCox]

+NanaBorderCollie ok thx

[@stephenbrewer42]

My friend raises border collies for sheep and cow herding, and I've seen them do some impressive things, like jumping over fences and into pickups and running a specific direction around a herd of sheep and laying down on the spot instantly. Amazing dogs, border collies.

[@lexdomain]

having Nana as a companion makes living a Heavenly experience ... you are truly blessed. Thanks for sharing!

[@BlondeExplorer1]

Do you ever take her to nursing homes? She would really make the seniors happy.

[@Supany22]

some of the tricks she does.. She has alot of trust within you and her and i am soo happy to see that you and Nana are both happy together and the trust she has makes me wanna cry! I love all dogs.

[@ScowlingWolf]

[@Turtl3Dov3]

Border collies really are cool. But high energy, too!

[@codyseeger8337]

That's pretty sweet to see someone so dedicated to their pets, to to spend probably a year SNF a half just working with them. Takes true dedication! Great job and awesome dog!

[@AaronGoSoFast]

[@MsMr1201]

I love the very ending where she plays the piano!!! 😍😘💖❤️🐶

[@ElMarcoHoJ]

And this is why Border Collies are my favorite breed

[@harryrisher6240]

Border Collies----CLEARLY the Most intelligent Dogs on the Planet!

[@kiwibella95]

Beautiful, beautiful dog and one of my favourite breeds too. Awesome that you've managed to teach her so many things and that she obviously loves doing them for you.

[@brancoborder2773]

Border collies, to know them is to love them.

[@user-vi3tb3bw5t]

Holy shit. Incredible training! I haven't been so impressed since skid boot! This collies back of tricks might even be more impressive.

[@flirtyflipgirl]

How could anybody dislike this cutie? And if your a cat lover that disliked it, why in the world were you watching it then?

[@tuttysagitariana]

Amazing!!! She is the smartest and cutest dog ever!!!

[@alexurli6875]

That moment when you realise a dog is smarter than you...

[@albertcepi6918]

World Guiness Record! Good job to both the trainer and Nana! (y)

[@Sianseguin]

she is amazing- but I will say n o matter how smart the dog - no dog would ever be doing this without the total love and support of their humans-this is obviously an adored dog- so beautiful to see

[@s.8947]

Such a happy video. Can't help but smile while watching it.

[@Anastasiyax]

do you train kids? :L

[@jennycz4024]

Amazing! I love border collies

[@bcmom5]

Awesome job! As a trainer and owner of Border collies, I watch this with tears of missing as well as joy. I miss my Border Collies I have had and love the aging ones I still have. But am overwhelmed with joy watching you do so much stuff with your dog. Keep it up please.

[@HoboTakoda]

An incredible list of tricks and behaviors. On average how long does it take for her to learn each one? And definitely yes: give them love and pawsitive reinforcement and you've got a true friend for life. Two paws up for Nana!!

[@Valkyriee686]

She is freaking gorgeous, and you've done an amazing job training her =)

[@rita54ish]

So amazing !! I used to have border collie and I've never forgotten her, she was like a human with a human look, she learnt anything with little training she just wanted us to be happy and was an incredible dog, this video is so wonderful blessings for you to make Nana so happy

[@soonerboy9831]

Nana is an amazing puppy. border Collies are so smart and fast as well. They always take top awards in relay racing on agility courses.

[@lisabowers2554]

[@mercedesaug]

Love the Border collies. Walking backwards up stairs. I've never seen that one before. Gorgeous animal.

[@TimePilot2084]

Even MY dog was impressed with Nana.

[@lovekittyforever]

The trick where you twist your hand and she shakes her head, how do you even teach that?! Impressive

[@TalentHounds]

Just fantastic

[@customtattoosbyrobby2064]

this dog is awesome and so are the people that spent all that time w/it

[@NotFamousKid]

[@susannerodano1516]

You know what Nana is? One very happy, blessed dog...that's what!!

[@Pjsev]

I love watching Border Collies...besides beauty, they are the most intelligent dogs out there. Loved watching this. ;)

[@aniakonie5507]

AMAZING! :) I love Border collie.

[@dirkslifeadvice5339]

Thats to damn cute, i wanna get a Collie puppy, when i can afford to treat him/her perfectly!!!!

[@ThinkingFingers]

Border collies absolutely need mental stimulation. The more you challenge them, the happier they are. That's just my experience from growing up with a border collie/sheltie mix. Humans feel the same need all the time, so it really shouldn't be difficult to understand. Nana has got to be one of the happiest dogs on earth.

[@HelloKitty-ed5cy]

Brilliant!!! What a beautiful happy dog... She is so happy to do whatever you ask of her... Respect to you for that!

[@desstesss]

You and Nana inspired me so much!! This video is the reason why I started training my own dog Tess (border collie) and I really enjoy training her. At this moment Tess knows about 120 - 130 dog tricks, and she is still learning new ones. I even made a video of her. Thanks for inspiring me, and good luck with training your pets :)

[@jcmiller112989]

Really cute and trained very well

[@MrLive2win]

Makes my tail wag!!!!!! Terrific.

[@zetec77]

AMAZING!!!! You must be so proud, you can see how happy she is to be performing these tricks for you. Not a chore but play time with intelligence. Good on you.
