Question! What
influences your decision when choosing a dog breed to get? Is it a fierce look
and nature or a cute face and a ‘couch dog’ trait? Is it intelligence or how easily
trainable it is? No matter what the influences are, I guess most people would
love a highly trainable and intelligent dog that would remain loyal and obedient.
These breeds really make life easy. Did you also know that the more intelligent
a breed, the less repetition of a command one has to apply in training? By the
way there’s an important resource for training your own dog through online
lessons from the comfort of your home. If like me, you want to avoid spending
over $500 to get your dog trained unsuccessfully then click here to find out (The Online Dog Trainer). For just $1 and
for three days, you get to have over $500 market worth of training material
that enables you to give your new dog the basic training. Go check it out and
thank me later.
Ok, back to the subject….
Did you know that there is a particular dog breed that is so highly intelligent
it can be taught maths and vocabulary? This breed is called the Border Collie.
The Border Collie was originally bred as an intelligent and obedient dog to
herd sheep so that’s where they operate best. However, just like most breeds,
they have evolved into very lovable family pets. You know the dog that would
run around in the park catching Frisbees? Yeah that’s likely to be a Border
Collie. They say never let a Border Collie off a leash or you’re in trouble!
Since they were originally bred to herd sheep, theirs is to run around the herd
of sheep and guide them towards a particular direction therefore they are hardly
‘couch dogs’. They require space and at least two hours a day of activity or
they might start exhibiting some negative traits, like digging, howling,
chewing stuff and destroying fences. They say these breeds are so smart, they
can actually watch you and learn how to unlock the fence so that they can break
loose and satisfy their need for regular activity, running around. As intelligent
as the Border Collie is, it requires early training and socialization for it to
completely obey commands. The great thing about them is that they are fast
learners. It is therefore possible to turn a Border Collie into a ‘couch dog’ that
understands maths and languages and performs advanced tasks with the right
training approach. This approach starts with first and foremost, becoming the
pack leader. The Online Dog Trainer provides you the best approach to training
any dog including the Border Collie. Click here (The Online Dog Trainer) to find out more.
On a scale of 1 to 10, I
would personally recommend this breed as a 9 for anyone who wishes to own a
highly loyal and intelligent dog. If you want family, friends and visitors to
be enthralled by your pet, then the Border Collie is your dog. Feel free to share
