#19 Border Collie puppies are very cautious and suspicious.
Therefore, you will have to win the dog's attention with outdoor games, treats, and new toys. And when the animal gets used to it, stop its tricks and manipulations. Being naturally cunning and persistent, Borders often fulfill their desires bypassing the owner's will. And they do it so subtly that it is almost impossible to notice the trick.
#20 For example, if a Border loves agility, and the training is coming to an end, the dog will start making mistakes on purpose, and the inexperienced owner will send him or her to pass the obstacles again.
Intelligence. The Border Collie ranks first in the ranking of the smartest dogs according to the Koren scale. The pet is naturally intelligent and is able to create situations in which it communicates with its owner literally on equal terms. For example, a Border Collie can invent a new trick and demonstrate it until the owner notices and assigns it to a command.
#21 Interaction with children and animals.
When a dog is busy with work and well-mannered, its attitude towards small children and other pets living in the house is friendly or neutral. However, when the shepherd instinct is activated, the dog may block them from leaving the room, bark, and bite their legs, as it would be with sheep that have broken away from the flock. In this case, it will be difficult to correct the pet's behavior. And the only way out of the situation is not to leave it with children and smaller animals without adult supervision.
