Sheltie learning tricks (Compilation)

[@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 😭😭

[@eloise7336]

i had a sheltie named max too! :)

[@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!

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.

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...!

[@herrice3227]

Watching this video reminded me of my mother's dogs, two of which are Shelties and how they grew up. Simba is gorgeous!

[@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.

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

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.

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! ❤️❤️❤️

[@D__Lee]

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.

[@megmc5683]

I absolutely love ALL animals, but there something very special about Shelties.❤️ I miss my Shelties.

[@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❤❤❤

[@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.

[@Dustin_Bins]

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.

[@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

Shelties are great dogs and protectors of their family. :)

I’ve been through this pain when my schnauzer passed away. Dogs are incredible creatures and sometimes I wonder if we really deserve all the love they give us. We always try to remind ourselves to enjoy our days with him as much as we can

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 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!

[@sagelion5279]

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

[@CouchClimbers]

I would love to see a picture 😍

[@RichieRich980215]

I have had 2 Shelties and 2 Long Haired Collies, when I was young. The Shelties were much more easily trained to do anything I wanted them to do. All the normal commands, sitting, roll over, stay. But I took it next step further and play Frisbee and catch every throw every time. Then bring back to me and drop it in my hand for the next throw. When we were done playing frisbee, I would say to him. OK let’s go put the frisbee away and put it right in the spot where it belonged! Next thing is too make him pick up and hand me any item with a bunch of items on the floor and he would grab the item I requested to fetch. One thing that probably are aware of is when these breed is teething is there ears will do straight up and if you don’t use Cod-liver Oil in the inside there ear to keep it cartilage soft during this period of teething! 😊

[@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.

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...

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.

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"

Adrian N Nearly every state has a Sheltie Rescue. I got my last one from there and have been thrilled with her choice of me. We are compatible, and she has learned her independence and self sufficiency. She is never more than a foot from me, favoring the spot under my recliner’s footrest. She is a hoot, making me laugh aloud several times a day. If you don’t have time or patience to train a puppy, I encourage you to contact a rescue center.

[@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 😆

[@hadleys.4869]

Gosh I love Shelties so much! We have one 11 year old Blue Merle Sheltie who is still as sharp as a tack and a new Sable mahogany colored 9 week old Sheltie. They are. Both boys and have their own unique personalities. One question I have is, what is a good way to reduce play biting? Our little 9 week old likes to play bite your feet, hands, arms, while you are still or walking. I think most of it is just being a puppy and wanting to put things in his mouth, but he has really sharp puppy teeth right now that can hurt or leave a mark sometimes. I’ve heard someone say to try and make a loud dog yelp noise when he bites to let him know its too hard. This seems to temporarily work, but I’m looking for something that will help him adopt some better habits over time. Thank you for your time! 😊

[@CouchClimbers]

Hi Hadley ! Thanks for sharing your story ! We loved to learn that they can remain this clever as they age ❤ You’re absolutely right, all puppies goes through this play bitting phase at around 8-14 weeks. Its really challenging because they are so cute, but it’s hard to snuggle with all the biting. The right thing to do is exactly what you’re doing, bitting inhibition. If they bite, you yelp and pause the fun for a bit. Soon enough they’ll learn that humans are very sensitive and will develop a soft mouth. Good luck with your new boy .. keep us posted;)

hi!!! i might get one, can somebody tell me if they are destructive? like, do they chew the couch and stuff like that? thanks!!

[@CouchClimbers]

There are exceptions but Shelties are usually not destructive. Ours is very delicate, with quite a "soft mouth". However, you need to ensure your dog has been properly exercised physically and mentally and has access to toys of variable shapes and consistencies. Otherwise, any dog could potentially chew on things around the house.
