#7 Many Shelties are very vocal and they have a loud, piercing bark.
To maintain good relationships with your neighbors, you should teach your Sheltie to stop barking on command from a young age.
#8 You can expect your sheltie to shed profusely in the spring, and sometimes other times of the year.
#9 Shelties are extremely intelligent and love to get things done.
You can still be stubborn. Make the training fun and give them time to figure out what you're asking them to do.
