The Border Collie is a very intelligent breed of dog. His obedience and intelligence rank him first among all breeds, so if trained properly, he will make a very good racing dog. Pace training is a very important part of the Border Collie training program. Next, I will share with you how to train the pace of the Border Collie. One: Before the pace training, let the Border Collie get used to and accept the collar and leash. Get the Border Collie to move its feet quickly in a short period of time, and try to get the Border Collie to focus in the process. You can use his favorite toys to attract his attention and play with him. During the process of playing, carry out some short muzzle training, so as to avoid it bored with the training program. Two: As the training Border Collie is progressing, this is the time to instill some command words into it. For each direction of the Border Collie’s run there needs to be a fixed password. For example, “this way” means turn to the right, “back” means turn back to the left. (This should be distinguished from the definitions of “left” and “right”). In order to teach the Border Collie to make simple turns, remember not to make the commands too complicated and not to confuse him with the direction. Three: In the general ability competition, all the turns are done in rapid movement, which requires the dog to be quite responsive to each turn command. Therefore, the dog’s attention needs to be focused throughout the process and the training of the turn commands needs to be completed instantly. 4: Do not let the Border Collie stare at the handler during the training process. A true racing dog is looking in the direction it is going. Pace training is very useful when crossing obstacles. These are the steps and methods of Border Collie pace training, I hope you find them helpful.
