The smartest dog
Do you have the profile to be a Border Collie owner?
If thinking about a Border Collie as your next dog, you need to give some thought to the time you can devote to such
an
energetic breed. It would be unfair to keep this breed couped up for long hours ā they are definitely not
ācouch
potatoesā . They do not do āhome aloneā too well and can exhibit separation anxiety. If you lock them
up for hours on
end, it wonāt be long until you get complaints from your neighbors about endless barking.
In order to establish yourself as the āTop Dogā, you will need to provide a comfortable ātime-out placeā if you need
to
go to work or out for the evening.
In reality, you canāt spend 24/7 with your dog. For this reason, we recommend that you practice some good management
of
your Border Collie for those times when you are not able to keep them actively engaged. You will need to provide
some
kind of entertainment for them, something that keeps them busy and something that engages their brain. Be sure to
pick
an activity that does not over-excite them or visually stimulate them such as a lure or a windup toy.
