Ive had Border Collies too and am onto my third,he was a year old at the end of August and before I say anything else I will admit he's turned out to be the hardest work of any of them,and of any other dog Ive ever had.BUT,he's improving so much and I honestly think that the difficult times him and I did have are down to his intelligence and always being a step ahead of me lol I think their intelligence makes them challenge us more,but if we stick with it,and recognise that in them,and that theyre not like other dogs...then we end up with amazingly clever,intuitive Collies that need mental stimulation as well as physical exercise.I adore my boy,we have a bond,even after all the teething problems..I probably annoyed him as much as he did me at times lol .We walk at least twice a day,running in the park,him,not me lol,focuses on me alone,passing joggers,bikes or other dogs are of no interest to him,we're a team ,and I feel very proud of him.Would I have had him had I known the initial hard work(bearing in mind that Ive had BC'S before)..maybe not,but the hard work from his side and mine lol has paid off and he's a wonderful dog and right this minute snuggled with me on the couch,our me and him time after a busy day :)

Working with a border collie is so rewarding my eldest border was hard work she was my first and learning first hand how smart they are is hard at first to work with.

[@MsVanorak]

it' the wheels (they invented it) - or anything that moves for that matter. it can be a bad habit if you want a farm dog loose about the place because they will go for passing traffic and it's a difficult habit to break. we had one that realised cars were too big and fast but you couldn't go anywhere in peace with a wheelbarrow.

[@einarejdesgaard6316]

At the dog park if things get too intense, my BC will break away from the rest and herd them together to calm things down. Zero training regarding herding, just a super strong instinct. Teaching him that it is good to be alone has been worth the effort. On his 3rd bday (yesterday as I am writing this), we went for a 6km run (warm up really, for him), then spent the next 7 hours hiking and at a dog park (always has access to water and is commanded to relax periodically). He will only stop running when I command him to lie down etc. Never any injuries, never starts fights, only de-escalates and loves everyone and everything, even cats (which he wants to play with, not herd). Super quirky at times, hyper intelligent for sure and reads me like an open book no matter what I try when attempting to change things up. He is very affectionate but this does not mean he is one that prefers cuddles on the couch to anything else. Greets whomever, wherever, and then it´s playtime/training etc. We´re talking at least 5 hours of activities every single day. I wouldn´t trade it for anything in the world. BCs are incredibly special. As a puppy he was a great white shark with legs. I don´t think I need to go any deeper into that, haha.

[@jlu3ai]

Our BC did the vacuum cleaner eating with the snow shovel. He's already gone but the chew marks stayed. :) Oh, and also, herding cats is possible :D

Wife was away on vacation, so I put in a doggy door so she could go out and run in the fenced in yard to cope with my absence. She was our love and the beginning of our journey with BCs and we've had as many as six at a time, now unfortunately down to four as our oldest passed away last year. Keep me on my toes, for sure.

[@sineadmccarthy7635]

@@lorettagrey7383 you train them to be calm as puppies, and also if you want a calm BC you can't fall into the trap of 'its a BC so it needs hours and hours of exercise a day', once you start doing that they're gonna be used to that level of activity and need it everyday. Mental stimulation is a lot more important for them than physical, the golden rule I learnt when I first got mine was 5 mins of exercise for every month they are until they're fully grown at around 2 years old. So for example a 2 month old will get 10 mins, a 7 month old will get 35 mins and an adult should get about 2 hours which can be split up throughout the day but you can also tailor this to your personal needs as long as you start when they're young, make sure they're healthy and give them enough mental stimulation. My BCs nearly 8 months now and whenever anyone meets him they're always shocked by how calm he is (don't get me wrong, hes not apathetic, he still has energy he's just not go go go all the time like people seem to think BC are) which I give credit to me giving him boundaries such as him knowing that when we're playing if I say 'all done, no play' he drops whatever were doing and he settles. BCs are like children, if you let them run around all day they will but you're in charge and you need to set firm boundaries so they don't become ferals haha and also don't confuse your BC being in over tired gremlin mode for still having energy and needing to run it off. I guarantee that if your BC is more manic than usual if you just remove any stimulus they'll pass out in 2 seconds, again just like a child

I decided to just walk him next to the bike to get used to the wheels. After a while i let him pull me on the bike and really getting out that "need for speed". He really enjoys it and now he is so much easier to teach. They are really fast thinkers, sometimes to fast😅

[@pinkpirate5]

@@vikingdogmanship Where I can I'll just take him to an approved 'leash free' space and let him run with a house line so I can take control once he finds something to take his interest and I catch up. He has a lot of fun just running full speed. Only problem I have is trying to get the cats inside at night, cause he wants to help and his exuberance makes the cats want to bunker down and hide.

[@Currentlyurmomshouse]

Ur collie reminds me of mine he’s red Merle and his ears always go’s back and looks so happy I want to go down stairs and get him

[@chrisandreandersen9291]

My bordercolllie barks at the sun and attack lightstrobes in the house hahah

[@emmylou4522]

Mine barks at the sun too, and aeroplanes lol

My border collie tried to herd three not so young ladies in the park one day when she was only four months old. Her favourite treat is a piece of cheese her only hate is the ironing board. I got her from dogs trust three years ago and I’m so grateful

[@Sadalicious]

The puzzles! I bought my pointer one of those 4 tier spinning treat finders (thinking it was hard)... it took him 2 minutes and he cleared it, properly. I was like well, so much for hard! 😂 He also has figured out with any kong or treats inside, he can drool on it until it desolves and they come out 🙄😅😂

[@apacksjourney]

They are just too smart for their own good lmao 😆

[@paulinefraser7877]

Millie my border collie has the same puzzle by the sounds of it. She gets to the treats fast but if she really can't be bothered with it she has learnt to pick it up and drop it so they fall out

[@janewillson3221]

So you have met my welsh border collie!. We had a pet rat who had fits, because he was poorly we kept his cage in the lounge. When he ways about to fit. Beau would pull the cage to the middle of the lounge to tell us to look after hi. I think you have met our dog. She iso like yours. Really enjoyed your video.. your woofs are lovely ☺️ Ivy reminds me of Beau 😂

[@laurenhrobat2322]

My border collie loves her jolly ball! As for staring at random things she doesn’t really do that. She’s also afraid of livestock 😂 conformation lines really do take the work out of the working dog haha

[@apacksjourney]

Lol you are right! For instance my working line border (ivy) is obsessed with staring at cats and you can’t even say the word cat around her. But my show line borders could care less about the cats lol 🤷‍♀️

[@hoonaticbloggs5402]

We have a short hair blue Merle mix red heeler. He is great

[@Poisonivvy283]

Oh man my boy is a border collie x New Zealand Huntaway. The huntaway in him makes him huuuge and he has such a loud deep bark 😳 he definitely herds kitties and sometimes my mice in their cage 🤣 doesn’t take much of a liking to other dogs just because he’s trying to herd them and he gets overly bossy about dog behaviours he deems as rude. He’d much rather play fetch with his favourite person ever (me, mum) 🥰

[@apacksjourney]

Sounds so much like joker! He’s huge and get jelly easy! Lol border collies love their mums hehe

[@thelatenightgeek0999]

Yes. My dog herds the lawn mower and it is so funny.

[@apacksjourney]

We have a Lawn service and ivy heard the lawn mower from the kitchen window 😂

[@spellingquestionable]

Mine used to herd my ex husband and myself as we walked her to the corner. Humans are so unruly.

[@NoneofURBiz297]

I pet sat for my friend’s Border Collie, she is still a puppy 11 months old, I used to own a Boston Terrier and a Lab, they were not as energetic a Border Collie. I don’t remember them bitting as much a Border Collie either, the nib at my feet a lot. Interesting enough, the dog likes me so much that I let her loose at the park and came back to me every time I asked her to. She doesn’t do that with her Mom! Smart smart dog, I just need to learn how to deal with the bitting next time I pet sit for her.

[@apacksjourney]

Play biting at that age is normal border collies are natural more nippy than most. But none of mine kept doing that after a year old. I would suggest more play with her when you pet sit to get some of her excess energy out :)

[@NoneofURBiz297]

@@apacksjourney I will do! Thanks for the reply!

[@Matt-wm1bf]

Lol they look so much like my Aussie, and she is a velociraptor as well.

The bamboo curtain reminds me of a conversation with a border collie owner in my old neighborhood. Me: my dog keeps destroying the screen of the balcony door, now I give up. Neighbor: that's how we made a dog door there...

[@skyebrookee]

Border collie are soo cute x 🥰

[@grimiskitty1120]

yeah bamboo is tasty you can buy bamboo shoots canned at the store for recipes that require it.

[@spellingquestionable]

LOL! TY.

[@skiediebel8845]

I totally relate

[@jezzc2535]

U forgot the classic, when they only bring the ball half way so you both have to meet in the middle

[@apacksjourney]

😂😂😂 yess!

[@catsathome]

We had a couple when I was a kid. Is smooshing bugs if they get close to them or their humans a thing. Cause both of them would kill bugs and spiders.

[@ginawiggles918]

I LOVE BC's but would never have one because I like balancing my checkbook and doing my taxes MYSELF! ;-D

[@apacksjourney]

I literally ask them when they are gonna get my taxes done lmao 😆 it’s a little joke amongst the family

[@MsVanorak]

:D

[@fly282]

Oh yeah,the struggle is real!😈Dont you just love your furry morning coffee?Honestly,its the best ingredient ever 😁 And their focus on toys...I can hold a ball in my hand even for hours and my Abbie wont move and cant take her eyes off of it.Great video and wonderful "best friends" 💚 Life with Border collie is an amazing adventure

Watching again 🐾🥰🐾

[@LumaEclipse]

I do not have a border collie yet (I'm spending time to make sure I'm a good enough fit for the little cuties) so my question is, any tips for how to train them (basic things like fetch/sit/lay down/come)

[@apacksjourney]

Border collies as far as training is the same as any other dog except border collies will learn it faster lol they truly speak English my dogs know certain trigger words like cat or kitty for example will send ivy into herding mode lol

[@Brodypuppycrazyadventures]

I have a 5 month old border collie and one of the funniest things is when my Brody herds me. 🤣 he nips me and i have no clothes i can wesr since they all have holes in me. Please don't worry, i have at least 2 trainers includiny myself working on Brodys behavior. Wanted to share! Love thr video!!!

[@paulmcmahon6875]

I have had 3 Border's and have only one left now. I miss my other two something bad. Such beautiful, intelligent hounds. Ya need a 30hr day to tire them out but the joy you get in return makes it no work at all. Best mates I have ever had or will ever have. So much character. The only people I wouldn't recommend them to is lazy people or workaholics. Put in the time and effort and you will know joy.
