No matter what kind of dog breed, training should start from an early age. For a Border Collie that has just entered a new home, the way to quickly adapt to the new environment is to give it a name. How can we get it used to the name it calls throughout its life? You can do this Yes, when the shepherd dog is playing or eating, parents can call its name in a bright tone to attract its attention. Be careful to call more times, otherwise it is likely to automatically ignore it because it did not hear it. Ignore you, and over time, it will gradually become familiar with this tone.

Defecation training must be the primary concern of most parents. Indeed, if a Border Collie does not have good defecation habits, no matter how smart and good-looking it is, it will be just like other ordinary dog ​​breeds, with endless troubles! If you observe carefully , you will find that when the dog is running around in circles, sniffing the smell of the floor, or being restless, this is sending a message to the parents: it needs to go to the toilet!

First, accompany the dog for a few days to establish the status of the feeder. You can use food to guide it to think that you are the owner. Parents should feed Border Collies in a fixed place, which is conducive to forming a good eating habit. It should be noted that some border collies like to do mischief and drag the rice in the bowl to the ground to eat. Therefore, parents should first spread a layer of newspaper on the ground, and dogs should keep a certain distance between each other when eating. All utensils must be used separately!

We often see this scene. When you are eating or eating snacks, the Border Collie will look at you with a demanding look or make a shy voice. At this time, parents must not be soft-hearted and must resolutely reject its pleas. , otherwise it will be easy for dogs to develop the bad habit of lingering after eating.
