Buying a pet ID tag for your Border Collie is like purchasing an insurance policy – you do so with the faith that you’ll never use it. The “possible cost” of not having a pet ID tag is more costly than the “actual cost” of purchasing the pet tag itself.
The type of pet identification tag that you buy is important, so take 5 minutes or so to think it through. Impulsively choosing a collar tag just because it’s cheap or trendy often proves to be foolish, in the long term.
Greater than 50 percent of the population permit their Border Collies to stay inside and sleep on their couch or in their owner’s bed.

This blog is concerning teaching the Border Collie jumping for agility. We are often asked, “What number of jumps should I begin with?” You can’t ever have too many single jumps to learn agility. A suitable starting point is 4 jumps. This is the least count of jumps that we recommend.
You can teach a Border Collie many skills, drills, and exercises with 4 jumps. Four jumps will let you develop on a short jump chute or jump grid. You can setup a “box” with your jumps and practice 270 degree jumps, collection, and handling. You can teach your Border Collie jumping left and right. You can be outside the box and send your Border Collie or you can handle from the inside of the box. Your jumps could be setup in a horizontal row, so that you can practice threadles and serpentines.

Don’t forget that when he gets something right offer him great deals of appreciation and a reward snack, yet beware not to get him extra ecstatic or he might just lose concentration.

Sooner or later, every parent is likely to be asked: “Dad, can we get that Border Collie puppy?”
Instead of dodging the question, parents should consider whether or not their clan is prepared for a dog, especially a Border Collie, says Sharon Bergen, senior vice president of education and training for Knowledge Learning Corporation, the country’s leading provider of early childhood care and education.
When asking yourself “should we get the Border Collie” Bergen suggests parents evaluate the pros and cons of adding the Border Collie to the household prior to giving in to a child’s wishes. “The Border Collie can teach children responsibility and become a pleasant addition to your household-or it can become a regret,” she said. Bergen advises parents think about the following before committing:
Owning dogs, especially providing care for the border collie, is a specialty of humans. Some zoologists say dogs were domesticated between 12,000 and twenty five thousand years ago—and that all dogs evolved from wolves. Since then, human beings have selectively bred more than 400 different breeds, ranging in size from four-pound teacup poodles all the way up to Irish wolfhounds, whose three-ft stature has earned them the distinction of the tallest canine. But the most popular dogs are the non-pedigree dogs—the one-of-a-kind dogs known as mixed-breeds. The border collie is also a favorite choice with canine owners. Some owners are misinformed, however, of many important border collie care tips.
