Border Collie Puppy Training – 10 Skills To TEACH FIRST!

If you're a Border Collie puppy owner, you're probably quickly discovering that your puppy can learn the bad habits just as quickly as they learn the good ones. In this Border Collie puppy training tutorial, you'll see Instructor Carol Lawrence (a 4X Disc Dog World Champion) teach us the first 10 things that she is teaching to her 9-week-old Border Collie puppy. Her puppy has only been with her for 4 days! So making the most of her time with her puppy is really important. Understanding some of the natural motivators for a Border Collie can be really helpful when it comes to training a puppy. Carol will talk about how she takes advantage of some of these things and how she avoids some puppy training pitfalls that Border Collie owners may run into!

    1. Glad you’re enjoying our videos, Mandee! The progress bar made totally sense to me when I was chatting with another YouTube creator. Glad to hear it’s helpful! Thank you for watching ~Ken

    1. I know Border Collies are intelligent but should you try to focus on one of these exercises at a time or can they handle learning multiple exercises at once?

    2. I dont know if anyone gives a damn but in less than 15 minutes I hacked my girl friends Facebook account by using SicZine. Just google for it 😉

    1. They certainly are. Our BC once growled at me as I was going to sit next to her on the sofa (never heard her growl before), I guess she was warning me not to sit on her legs, I was quite offended that she would think I’d do that and said word for word:-
      “ohh! If you’re worried about me sitting on you how about next time I come back to sit next to you you sit up, let me sit down and then lay back down against me?”
      Every single time since she would sit up on the sofa, allow me to sit down and then would return to sprawling over me

  1. Great trainer with great tips. However, I didn’t hear her say that these type of trainings must continue daily and at 10 – 15 mins at a time. Otherwise, a few mins weekly won’t do anything positive.

    1. If you want high energy, get a Brittany Spaniel 🙂 But you better be ready to deal with him LOL! He was bred to run dead out, no resting, no stopping, no piddling for 10 straight hours. Next day, he can do it again!!!

    1. @Daniel Verheyen-tovey How is it having one? I’m thinking of getting one but I’m hesitant about the herding. Do you know any tips about the herding? 🙂

    2. lol, good luck. they are cray cray. buddy has 4 as cattle dogs and they are go go go. I was face timing him and in 30 minutes those dogs chassed off 2 bulls, ran 300 heifers into pens and killed a coyote without a single command. They really, and i mean really, need lots of stimulation.

  2. Collecting our first collie pup, from Scotland in October. We have an older Labrador and this refresher training for us has been invaluable Thank you xx

  3. This trainer, she seems amazing. I love how she interacts with the puppy.
    I dunno why I’m actually watching, I lost my border last year and is not even ready for a new yet.

    1. It never stops hurting when they go, but if you’re watching puppy videos then it’s safe to say you will be ready for the next doggy adventure soon

  4. Im getting my border collie soon. Shes going to be going on boat rides , the beach, adventures. And would definitely like to know how go train for things like that!

  5. I feel like the “treat” after crying is kind of training the dog to cry for a treat when in the cage? I guess there’s no other way to do it though when you’re fliming lol
