People claim Border Collies are supposed to be very intelligent. I have a 3 year old black and tan Border Collie named Doc, and I'm not so sure about the intelligence of the breed. For the last two months I've been teaching him to type. He can't type more than about 75 words per minute without misspelling a few words. Maybe if I were a better trainer he could be faster?

[@TimFarmerCK]

Hehehe!!! Good dog!!!

[@clarencegreen3071]

Get Doc a keyboard with auto correct and a spell checker, for crying out loud!

[@jaydee6574]

He probably just doesn't like your version of English, border collies are from the border of England/Scotland

[@donfletchersr.6644]

Mine does " talk to text.' Try it, its much easier....

[@AutisticWombot]

I'll be honest, our border Collie is smart but she's lacking in the wisdom department. She gets stuck on the wrong sides of gates and often ends up running full-tilt into things. She's easily trained but still, dumb as a stump😂

[@SomeMinorDogTraining]

For anyone reading this: I know that dog training can be difficult sometimes, but you're doing great. Keep up the good work, and your dog (and your own sanity) will thank you for it! ❤️💕

[@hopeful4243]

Border collies are really smart. My friend had one, and when I went to his house his border collie helped me with my calculus homework. Really smart and very patient. Amazing breed

[@zackparsons3937]

Just when I could not bare to live through another Korean street food video, all of a sudden KZbin started recommending border collies and I am so happy!

[@SEW_B]

I like what this trainer said. Treat each dog as an individual. Wise words for training any breed and any dog. It makes the difference. Plus, that's what makes training dogs so much fun.

[@Mykeynikey22331]

Of all the trainers ive watcher and worked with, I like this man the most. I love the way he talks about each dog and their abilities and individuality. There's just so much pure appreciation for dogs in this guy. I love it.

[@tonyaharne]

Hi there. I can absolutely say you are spot on. He’s very patient and very knowledgeable. And I’m not just saying this because I’m his wife;) Thank you for such a lovely comment.

[@sheiladuncan1027]

I recently got a border collie. I love working dogs so I knew mostly what to expect. She tries to herd everything. The goats; the chickens ; our other dog. The cats. They tolerate her. I'd love to learn how to train her to do what she obviously loves

[@johnnydtractive]

I love Murphy's grade. Not just a D, but a D minus, lol. That's the gentleman's humour on display. Great video, it's always such a pleasure to watch dog, human & sheep working together.

[@puuuuuuuurple]

I absolutely love these men so much. You pass every vibe check ever. Thank you

[@Jasbethalvarez]

Those accents!!! I live!!! I enjoyed how lovable he is with the grading of his dogs. Beautiful BCs!!!

[@TimFarmerCK]

Thanks so much

[@glitteriable]

Yall’s accents calm me down to the point of being comatose, I swear

[@TimFarmerCK]

We have accents??!!! lol........Thank you! I think?

[@clstepto]

I can just smell the nature smell watching this. 💚✌ I love farms.

[@amberblyledge7859]

I'm starting to try to train my Aussie Lab mix. Unfortunately I have no stock other than chickens and I think that might just excite him too much. So, I have to train on a jolly ball. I have no idea what I'm doing but it seems to be vaguely working. In two sessions he's got about a 70 percent sucess rate on "Come Bye" And "Away" I might shorten "Come bye" to just "Bye" as he already knows Come as a different command.

[@peterfli7331]

Sweet! My two collies Spot and Polly had a litter of 5. I plan to train them when they get older.

[@pilgriminprogress6668]

i loved this! I loved it when u said"A D-" Thanks for the smile you gave me.

[@JazzyBlues79]

I'm so glad I came across this channel.

This dude from Kentucky seems like one of the nicest guys I've ever seen

[@shaylynnrobbins5080]

[@Pamela-jr3ht]

Loved this. I have a 4 y/o Aussie. I would really like her to learn this (at least the part where she doesn't want to eat the animals :)

[@ericpettyfishing]

This video was awesome. We just got our first pup.

[@1ifbyland2ifbysea]

I have watched this video about ten times and still love it

[@suep9445]

I thought for sure you'd say the last dawg (with the D minus) would be washed out. But I can hear your calm confidence that you can help him along. Heartening to know he's with a skilled trainer!

[@MrPipvampire]

Great footage. Very educational

[@1ifbyland2ifbysea]

awesome video, good folks and great dogs

[@changing22]

Beautiful video! I was expecting a tutorial but I came upon a hidden treasure 🖐

[@easttxkeren]

Really enjoyed your video especially when he said Murphy was a d minus lol lol

[@TheAnhStudio]

“chow chow avalanche” wow I love the substitles 4:32

[@tonto2455]

Enjoyable and interesting. Love all the dogs.

[@MrBobbo18]

My pup tries to herd me on walks when I don’t go where he wants.

[@MikeStarKaraokeUK]

[@TimFarmerCK]

Exactly!!! lol

[@EPICFETCHING]

I wish I knew more people that train dogs or have similar interests

[@mycolliesandme268]

I've a 3yr blue merle border collie called Murphy. He's so smart, he's from working parents. He doesn't work live stock, but he's so obedient has an active lifestyle, and he sees cattle and sheep often but just passes them by. He learns quick. I was wondering if it is possible to teach a older dog to work sheep that hasn't before. When he was a pup he did stalk and crouch when he saw sheep. But I've got him to pass by and leave them alone.

[@philipholmes8751]

The dog looks exactly the same as my dog patch

[@menwithven8114]

Me and my wife just bought our first BC today. We pick her up in 2 weeks. We are so excited but also nervous. This will be our first experience with this type of dog. If anyone read this and has any tips or anything it would be much appreciated. We already have her enrolled in obedience and agility training and our base plan is a very long walk in the morning, a 2nd long walk at night and an additional minimum hour of training/ exercise every day

[@TimFarmerCK]

Let us know how it goes!

[@menwithven8114]

@Tim Farmer's Country Kitchen I'm now on day 5 with her. She's absolutely adorable and extremely inquisitive. She is only about 10 weeks so I'm staying simple and letting her acclimate in the first couple weeks. First thing is she was house broken when we got her just from natural instinct. She was in a pin but was never inside the traditional house setting until we picked her up and not a single accident. She already knows her name and sit and about 90% on a crate command. I'm already shocked by her intelligence for being so young.

[@leah-xv7lu]

We just got a border collie puppy...

[@brendanmcloughlin3987]

Go Murphy hahaha

[@randysegan2449]

Really would like to find out if they will train a dog for me

I work for my collie and Aussie 🤣

[@joebeutner6538]

really enjoyed...... but didn't understand the "left-handed handshake"?

[@TimFarmerCK]

Wikipedia Tim Farmer. Google what happened to Tim Farmer’s Hand. Look up the Tim Farmer story on KZbin.

[@leifjohnson617]

Who shakes hands with the LEFT HAND? Or is the film flipped?

[@TimFarmerCK]

I do. And here's why. From Wikipedia:Timothy "Tim" Farmer (born March 18, 1964) is an American outdoorsman, musician, and television presenter. He is known as the host and executive producer of the television shows Kentucky Afield, Tim Farmer's Country Kitchen, and Tim Farmer's Homemade Jam.,[1] for which he has won a total of five regional Emmy awards.[2] A motorcycle accident in 1984 left Farmer without the use of his right arm, and he has since worked with other Kentuckians to cope with and overcome similar physical disabilities

[@leifjohnson617]

@@TimFarmerCK I did not know about Mr. Farmer's handicap. I apologize.

[@kaylafink5549]

Please do cows! I'm training 12 week old border collies

Mmm they are smart mine not so much she tries to open my door by running into it

I love Kentucky names I live close to dogslaughter

I love hiking Dog Slaughter! Such a beautiful area.

[@dawnbeckering806]

My dog Jake does agility just on voice commands and hand signals because I can not run My trainer says after working with over 1000 dogs in agility he has never seen a dog better at voice commands

[@LidaAfrika]

Ooohhhh… & this is why I’m watching these videos even though I have no collie and won’t ever get another pet 😂 I’m sooooooo curious about WHY they herd… to see that they want to attack the animals they herd is SO interesting BUT WHY? WHY?

[@jessmonroe6951]

He's a D- 🤣🤣🤣

[@leafhappy]

Wasn't that just delightful

[@drcrippen1396]

Shaking hands with the left hand - most strange!!
