I was very interested in the pet dogs, and I have two pets at home, which are Border Collie and Samoyed. Both of them are 13 years old, which means they accompanied me to grow up. I established a closed relationship with my pet dogs. Dogs are an animal that makes people feel very dependent, and people can also be dependent on dogs. Overall, I have lots of experiences of raising the Border Collies, and I want to share the dog training, dog disease, and dog diet with you.An important thing about border collies is the effort required to train one. Since they have so much energy and intensity, they can sometimes require their owners to hire professional trainers. There is a my favorite blogger names Danielle, who did not own a border collie until she was 31, and I was surprised at how much she came to love the breed. In her blog, she writes that border collies need positive reinforcement to be the good dogs we all know they can be Singer. This mostly comes from the fact that border collies were bred to be out and about all the time, hunting animals and guarding their farmlands. Most of the behavioral issues with border collies come from their need for an outlet for their energy, as well as their not being used to indoor lives.
There are a few inherited diseases in border collies that are worth mentioning, since any caring border collie owner should be on the lookout for them in their pet. In a professional dog raising website called animal lab, border collies were bred for intelligence, athleticism, and herding, but they can also have eye problems, hip dysplasia, and epilepsy. These diseases are generally genetic, meaning that they will tend to be contracted by the border collie if the collie’s parents or grandparents had it. In fact, these diseases are present in border collies because some of the earliest border collies had it and passed it on through the generations. While these diseases cannot be entirely fixed, taking your border collie to the vet regularly will help to prevent or treat them if your dog becomes sick. Then you can rest assured knowing that if your dog does have a health problem, you know what to do!
When it comes to diet, a potential border collie owner should know that they need a lot of food on a regular basis. This is partially based on their need for exercise. Border collies were bred to run around all the time herding sheep on their farms, so your dog will most likely want to burn off all the calories from his meals outside. However, the problems can arise when you do not give your border collie enough exercise. If you do not let your dog out enough to run around and play, the high appetite of a border collie could become an issue. If you notice that your dog is gaining weight, you should try to give him more time outside. A border collie will generally need to eat more than an average dog, so your first response should probably be to get them out to run around. This will return their metabolisms to normal and give your dog the happy, healthy life he deserves. As you can see, border collies have a few points about them that are high maintenance, but otherwise they are very rewarding as pets!
