See our Border Collie Care & Training Guide for more breed specific information. The Border Collie is a breed of herding dogs regarded as the most intelligent dog breed. They have come from the border of England and Scotland, and that explains their name. They are highly energetic and sometimes tend to get neurotic or destructive if not given enough to do. Even now, they are employed as farm dogs that take care of livestock, though they have become quite popular as domestic pets and sports dogs as well.

Your dog must be house-trained as early as possible and you can start training your Border Collie with crate training as most breeders and trainers would recommend. A crate is your most valuable tool for house-training your puppy, and his favorite place to feel secure. Accustom the puppy to the crate on his first day in your home. Dogs don’t usually dirty their crates, so it will help you potty train your dog from day one.

Always call him by name when you give the commands. Every time your puppy wakes up from a nap, take him outside at once. You need to be very vigilant; always keep an eye on him and the moment he gives the signal, take him out. Don’t forget to pat him and praise him for his good behavior. However, if he dirties the place by accident, just show your disapproval and ignore the incident. Rather than reprimand him, wait for him to do it right and then shower praise on him. Positive reinforcement always works better. He will quickly learn that it is better to go outside and do his job than to do it on the kitchen floor and get scolded. Catch him in mid-piddle, however, and he'll get your message.

Border Collie's have a lifespan of up to 15 years, with 12 being the average. Fortunately, this dog breed does not have many health problems that arise. Major concerns are only CHD. Minor health issues that may come up are hypothyroidism, PRA, PDA, CEA, seizures, OCD, and lens luxation, but these occurrences are extremely rare.
