Some one once said “Shelties would write a murder mystery for a treat”.

[@CouchClimbers]

Sometimes I think Simba will open the fridge and help himself one day...

They do.love their treats. ❤

I have had three Shelties in my life and they were by FAR the most intelligent dogs I have ever known. They can do anything but fix your computer.

[@leagueaddict8357]

i think that's on your side, you should've thought them to fix ur pc bad training there.

[@donjohnson8627]

Your right...my Sheltie tried to fix my computer and, even though he did OK with my stereo, he just couldn't figure the computer out!!

[@spearmint4093]

so envious i also want a sheltie but im allergic

[@ivybridge1229]

I taught mine to retrieve documents from the printer.

I had a Sheltie for 16+ years. When we went to kindergarten obedience class, she was the "star". All the other dog owners were in awe of my Sheltie's ability to quickly learn and obey commands. The only real problem I had with my Sheltie was getting her housebroken. I thought it took forever, but suddenly one day, I came home and there was no surprise.

[@MichelleYM]

I used to own a sheltie named Max who just passed away last year and this video made me so happy thinking of him and the same tricks I would teach him! Thank you for posting, brought a bittersweet smile to my face :)

[@Gibbyrodriguez75]

My Sheltie was Max too!!! He passed after 14 years 😭😭

i had a sheltie named max too! :)

These Dogs are the most intellegent, easy to work with Dogs out there. They are a real joy to be around with and they love their owners as well to. Always ready to please and are a good working Dog.

[@katlovesdogs4119]

You have my condolences. When I think about losing my Sheltie Laddie I find it unbearable.

[@me-hi9dp]

Wow, she got so old! 🤗🐶 I lost my sheltie this summer, she was only ten and a half... It was way too soon i think. What did you feed your dog? Mine got dry food, but I found out when she got kidney failure, that dry food actually can cause such problems! I had no idea, and thought I was giving her the best food... For my next sheltie I will make homemade dog food and hopefully she will have a long and healthy life 🐶♥️ They are such wonderful dogs! ♥️ I can hardly wait 'till May...!

[@joannemclaurin2262]

I adore this breed. I had one and was heartbroken when we lost him. They are not easy to find. I don’t care if I am old when I get another. Many of my friends I can trust to take him.

[@PomPom210]

My boy is now 11 years old, he's still as fit as a fiddle and healthy. This brought tears too my eyes because I know I will never have another Sheltie pup @ 76 I am too old to commit myself to another, there have been 3 altogether over 42 year, every one just wonderful, but like all dogs they don´t teach themselves.

[@KeatonHasty]

My old gal passed after 12 years last year in Feb. She was my first but I don't think my last :) Your boy is beautiful.

[@wolfpackpete6408]

I don't think you're too old for another puppy. Someone else in these comments have said that they've plenty of friends they'd trust with their dog if the time comes

[@Dogma718]

you should consider a senior dog. Not as much work as a pup, but still a great companion. I'm 66 and just got a puppy, lots of work, but so sweet.

[@rafstrudley1796]

I lost my 13 year old in december...knew all the same tricks except "Pizza" id....I have had 4 shelties over the years since childhood...number 5 is coming in August and I'm 73!...Life without a sheltie is hard to imagine...if your health and circumstances are good, I encourage you to fill your life with a sheltie again!

[@tamielizabethallaway2413]

I remember being 13 and my parents coming in with our first dog. A puppy sheltie who fit in my two hands! Beautiful Ben! It used to take me over an hour once a week to brush him fully! He was so good. Now I'm much older and have a Jack Russell called Smudge! He's 13 but thinks he's a puppy! Dogs are such a joy! ❤️❤️❤️

[@katzkix]

I have a sheltie too, he turns 2 on June 5th! He knows many tricks too, and he is very smart but dumb, the perfect buddy for me😂 💕

[@rebeccawhitney1222]

I've had three beautiful shelties, brings back so many sweet sweet memories.

[@sandragruhle6288]

I have my fifth Sheltie, and she is so smart that even I am amazed that she often does what I tell her to do the very first time I tell her to do it, even with commands she hears for the first time. They have all been wonderful pets, and great around all kinds of kids.

[@gkuhlen2294]

Such a smart Sheltie. Cute as a button.

I have only had one Sheltie in my life, but I will never forget Bear, I have to say of all the dogs, Bear was my favorite doggy. He's been gone for at least 17 years now, but I remember him as if he just left my life yesterday and even if that sounds sad...it's not! I loved him lots and he was my favorite friend of all the furry friends I've had.

[@craigw.scribner6490]

Beautiful dog! We've had three Shelties and they are the best! Thanks for sharing.

I love how absolutely dedicated you are to training! I’m teaching my 10 week old Aussie pup all the same tricks!

[@maryannangros8834]

I have had many Sheltie in my life. We fostered for Sheltie rescue for 10 years. These guys are flipping brilliant! We placed 252_dogs in 10_years.

[@janettewhitchurch5118]

People sometimes underestimate sheltie's. I have a sheltie and they are brilliant watchdogs and his bark is quite intimidating if someone comes to the door. The second sheltie we owned was very protective of us and even the postman was scared of him. We had to put a metal letter box on the inside of our door so our sheltie didn't try to bite his hand. On another occasion he lunged at a rottweiller when out for his work! And I'm not joking. Our 2nd one as mentioned was so brave. Bless him x

[@m00nAlways0nMe]

Rescued a sheltie mix, she learned all her tricks in one month. Each trick took like 5 minutes. Smartest dog ever.

[@suehewitt9395]

Aww what a gorgeous pup!❤❤, I have a sheltie too, well just got one, thanks so much for this video, so i can teach my Sheltie these tricks too!

I miss my sheltie who passed away Friday, July 31, 2020. He was 12 1/2 year of age and weight 50lbs. He look like a mini Rough Collie. I want another one. I previous own 2 Rough Collies . This 1st Rough Collie passes away at the age of 12 in 1993. The 2nd Rough Collie passed away in 2007 from Nasal Cancer at the age of 14. I down sized and got my sheltie in March 2008.

[@-demon_dog-8511]

My heart such a beautiful pup pure intelligence. 💖👏

[@bpotter9182]

My pup does the same tricks and also crawls along the floor. I also taught her to always sit and stay on my door mat. At age 5 or 6 months old she got loose from her harness and ran in our complex and across our parking lot street. I found her patiently sitting on my door mat waiting for me to catch up. I praised her and gave her a few treats on the mat and I hooked her back onto her harness all on that mat. Only then did we go inside. I've tried to teach her the importance of the mat as a symbol of a home base After each trip outside or coming home from errands she's always been taught to sit and shake hands while sitting on it. She's always recieved love, praise and a small treat for doing this I'm very proud she gets the significance of the front door mat as he safe home base if something like that ever happens again. Her name is Sia It means helper in Hebrew. The prettiest name i could think of with deep meaning to be my next service dog. It takes 18 months to 2 years to train a dog to help you doing service work. She's now 11 months old about 20 pounds.

[@shirleyrowarth8025]

My shetland sheepdog is amazingly well trained. Having been a personal dog training instructor for many years, having won several shows, and having taught in several training schools, I can honestly attest to the fact that the countless responsible dog owners out there (far outweighing the irresponsible minority in matters of statistics) are doing all they can to enjoy their pets in peace, despite those out there, sarcastically or otherwise, who seems to want to jump onto any anti-dog campaign out there because it suits their personal cause.

[@jimquantic]

No, thank you for posting, sweeter breed never lived and sooooo good to see gentle people with this sweet animal.

Marjorie Jensen yes, I had one too! He went to the Rainbow Bridge a year ago! I miss him so much but can’t bring myself to get another one, he was so precious, smart, loyal, such unconditional love. Have looked at other dogs, just can’t do it!🌈

[@cmika7734]

My 11 lb. Sheltie Wylie (avi pic) went OTRB two months ago at 16. He was the most gentle, sweet pup I’ve ever known. I miss him lots. Your Simba is gorgeous and amazing!

[@peter.baerentzen]

I used to have big dogs - I'm on my 5th Sheltie and I'm never going back! All dogs are great - what counts is getting the dog that matches yourselves. A serious problems with Shelties is you want to have several dogs at the same time. The live a long time and it is "hell" saying goodbye to a dog that you had for almost 17 years like was the case with my last loss... I still miss the "old Shelties". It was quite funny - for the first few minutes I was not sure if it was in Denmark... the living room could have been and the commands and the click'er too... Good luck with the "terrorist"

[@nelazitnikova6534]

I love Shelties, I've always wanted one...ever since I was little, really long, but I still don't have one. My parents simply won't allow it... and I'm already, yes, big enough❤❤❤

I thought of something I should mention because I found it rather amazing. I was really ill for awhile and I had to get someone to take care of Laddie. When I finally got to come home, Laddie was so happy. The amazing thing was, he remembered all the tricks I had taught him! I was so pleasantly surprised!

[@elinduffy2731]

Once your dog follows the request, and you ckick/and or treat, always praise with a "good boy", "good girl", or "good dog!". Giving them treats is fine but also follow with the "good dog" as it praises them whenever you don't have a treat! This dog is so smart and trainer/owner has such a good rapport with it... The best time to

[@kellilien1736]

Beautiful dog! And so smart!!

[@joannemclaurin2262]

You have a beautiful sheltie puppy! I have always always wanted one, finally found one and the lady sold him before I could travel to her place which took three hours to get to her. I was devastated and cried for hours. Luck to find another breeder and brought that puppy. We adored that dog with all our hearts. He had some kind of heart problem and died shortly after he turned eight. I have rescued another dog, Jack Russell-corgi mix. And we love her. I want another Sheltie so bad I can’t stand it. They are not easy to find, and when you do, they cost a fortune. I will keep looking until my dying days.

I have Hugo 16 weeks old now. Half Catahoula the other half..Border Collie/Heeler, Australian Shepherd. He is this smart but doesn’t know all these tricks yet...He rings a bell to go potty outside. He will know all these and more. An agility course is being made for him. Your dog is adorable and you are doing amazing on the training.

[@CouchClimbers]

Thank you !! Hugo sounds very smart with his bell trick ! I'm sure he will nail agility like a pro !!

[@ImWeirdBoy]

Aww... What a cute puppy!

[@charlayned]

We just lost our 16 year old Sheltie, Isis last Thursday. I'm still in tears. We are working to find another to go with our 3-year old boy sheltie Sully. Shelties don't really do well alone, we have found, they need someone else to play with when mom/dad are busy. We'll be getting a puppy this summer and I'm planning on teaching that one a bit better than we did Spaz boy. My girl Shelties (Isis and Rhi) were both very well trained and behaved and served as service dogs to me. I'm going to be training the new one to help me.

[@jam0to9]

Taught our Sheltie Charlie, to sit, down (lay down), speak (bark), over (roll over), shake (both paws, and the hardest was to stand (balance standing on hind legs). The longest he stood and held balance was 3 to 5 seconds. Also taught him to chase balls and retrieve. Could not ever teach him to return to my hand. He always return to a spot to my left and placed on the ground about 2 steps every time no matter. A glitch in his mental programming I guess. I was cool with it; I needed the exercise anyway and Charlie must have thought the same after the running he did. I can see his thoughts saying, “I’ll make him move too”. LOL 😆

[@noldaker]

Adorable! Had a Sheltie name Shep...My husband gifted him to me Christmas day and he died 14 years later on Christmas Eve 20 yrs ago at the hand of a bad Vet...I was both livid and heartbroken...cried for weeks...Simba is adorable and highly intelligent...Enjoy every year of love and fun with him. Shelties are great dogs and protectors of their family. :)

I had a Sheltie/Golden Retriever mix named "Simba" as well. He looked like a shorter, fluffier golden, with a sharper snout, upward curving tail and the classic Sheltie dorito-shaped ears xD. Still, most people would think he was a golden retriever at first glance, but his personality was 100% sheltie! I love this breed so much
