A pleasant looking dog with a playful nature the Border collie if adequately exercised of mind and body will become a rewarding family pet. A walk on the lead once per day will not provide him with the energy growth that he wants. This sort of dog will need at least an hours flat out running each day plus some psychological stimulation provided through play and training.

If you like the breed but cannot practically provide the exercise and stimulation needed it is worth considering supplying a home to an older collie. The older dog will delightedly chase a ball well into its kids although not become as frustrated with longer rest periods.

The bored Border collie will display disappointment based behaviors. Attention looking for by barking, awkward chase instinct and destructive behavior of both the environment or self-harm by gnawing feet or legs are all possible signs of an under stimulated dog.

There are many options for dog training with this kind of dog. When supplying a home to one it is easily worth performing a little research on how to train a border collie.
