Border collies will herd more than cattle, goats, and sheep. They will also herd geese, even in water. I have just recently started using Bear to help keep the geese away. He is an amazing dog.

This is Gus (Flash). He is a sweet, gorgeous male border collie puppy that will be registered with the American Border Collie Association. He loves running and playing with his human family and is the only one left in Allie’s litter. Isn’t he a cutie?

Allie, the mom of the puppies I have, on sheep. I kept her backed off a bit because I didn’t want her putting too much pressure on them and making them run. She was driving them, not fetching, and she was awesome. ❤️❤️❤️

Trainers that make lots of corrections with young dogs, including not letting them be tight, fast, etc. often believe their dogs should “push through” even when their body language isn’t keen for the work, usually in an effort to accelerate the training.
The problem with this is, you cannot recreate initial enthusiasm. For some young dogs, the resentment for the phase of work that was forced upon them, stays with them and could have been avoided if the handler had changed their approach.

If you try to shape or push your young dog and he gets reluctant, sniffs, goes unusually wide, is master conscious, turns tail or comes back to you for reassurance, he’s telling you that you’re spoiling his enjoyment.
It’s his way of letting you know he’s not ready for the pressure you're applying or doesn’t understand your way of communicating—It’s not ever normal or acceptable that a dog should quit working.
Sometimes handlers mistakenly interpret this and blame their dog, rather than recognizing something about their training approach has a bullying mindset rather than a teaching mindset.

Watch your dogs body language and demeanor. If he’s not enjoying what he’s doing, he’s probably not ready for the next step and/or he needs you to revise your approach.
Once he is enthusiastic and confident, try the next step and make adjustments based on his response.

Take the time it takes, to be certain your dog fully understands and enjoys a new training concept before you set expectations or make the task difficult.
Patience is one of the best gifts you can give your young dog to empower his confidence and development.

My name is Robin White, and I am the owner/trainer at Commands R Us Dog Training. I have been training dogs for over 30 years. I started out training my dad’s fox dogs to show and stand on the show table when I was in elementary school. Later, I began training my border collies obedience commands and herding. They worked our cattle and sheep.
People began stopping by the house and asking if they could watch our dogs work. More and more people wanted me to train their dogs, and fast forward, Commands R Us was formed.
I have trained many, many different breeds such as great danes, mastiffs, australian shepherds, pitbulls, rottweilers, german shepherds, belgian malinois’, doodles, chihuahuas, yorkies, shih tzus, dachshunds, and many more. I train basic obedience, tricks, and work on many behavioral issues while working with the owners to give them the knowledge to continue with training.
I love what I do and would love to help you with your precious furry friend. Don’t put it off any longer because the earlier you begin training, the better it will be for you and your dog or puppy.
Call me at (256) 899-3300 to get started now.
