Puppy love ... when taught correctly, children and B.C's can make brilliant companions.

 
Children can get very excited and make lots of noise whilst running around having fun. The natural instinct of the border is to keep running, squealing children under control. A border will naturally herd the children and MAY nip if the children don't respond quickly. Nipping is a behaviour that can be curbed but it is a natural and understandable reaction from the working dog ...
teaching the children to respect the dogs is as important as teaching the dog to respect the children.
 
 

Border collies excel in many varied activities, including sheepdog work, agility, obedience, companion work, showing and flyball...
