Shows a Border Collie recognizes its owner

1. When a Border Collie starts to rely on you, he will care about you and even show jealousy. When the Border Collie sees that you are friendly to other dogs, touching them and feeding them snacks, the Border Collie becomes angry.

2. If your border collie is obedient to you, even if it is sleeping on its stomach, as long as you call its name, it will run over immediately, then it really recognizes you as its master.

3. When Border Collie sleeps, he curls up his body to protect his belly. The Border Collie can freely expose its belly in front of you. Even if it is touched by you, it will not resist. If it is still cooperative, it will recognize you as its master. Because the Border Collie knows that you will not hurt it, and the Border Collie feels comfortable being touched by you, it will show its belly to you. This is a form of coquettishness.

4. A border collie that already recognizes you as its master will love to stick to you and want to follow you wherever you go. Border Collie usually likes to play with you. No matter how busy you are, you want to drive it away or keep it away, it will feel at ease by staying by your side.

5. Some border collies will be angry or even retaliate when they know that their master has lied to them. They just feel that they are unhappy and do not want their master to be happy. But they are very tolerant of their owners who are recognized by the border collie. Even if they are angry, they will not last long. After the owner touches them a few times and feeds them some snacks, they will be back to normal. They are very easy to coax.
