Border Collie Training in
Texas
There are several
Border Collie ranches in Texas that offer a wide selection of Border
Collies with different personalities and ages for sale.
Some of these Border Collies in
Texas are already trained. Others will require training.
Border Collie
training in Texas isn’t a whole lot different than Border Collie
training anywhere else. But there is one important point that all owners
should remember when completing Border Collie training in Texas.
Temperatures in
Texas can get very warm. Since the average Border Collie is
highly energetic with no internal stopwatch, it’s important to make sure
that your Border Collie doesn’t overexert himself, become dehydrated and
sick.
When doing any type
of Border Collie training in Texas or elsewhere, it is important that
you pay close attention to the tone of your voice. Border Collies
are very intelligent and can pick up on the slightest pitch change in
your voice.
To make your Border
Collie move faster, speak in an animated high and quick voice. Do the
opposite when you want to slow him down. Lower your voice, but not to
ridiculous levels, and drag out the words in the order or command. If
he’s done something wrong and you need to correct him, slightly lower
your voice even more and speak in a forceful, slightly growl-like tone.
If you’d like to get
your Border Collie’s attention during a training session in Texas (or
anywhere else), try whispering. Watch his ears perk up and his head
tilt as he tries to hear what you’re saying. Any other time, like
outside of any training sessions, just talk to your dog in a normal,
conversational tone.
Border Collies are very
perceptive to emotions, even emotions in people. Use this to
your advantage when training your Border Collie. If a lesson isn’t
proceeding as it should during a training session, let your
disappointment show. To show disappointment, look your Border Collie
directly in his eyes. Let the disappointment show in your eyes. Then
deliberately look away.
If he isn’t paying
attention, be a little more obvious. Throw up your hands and walk away.
Sometimes making a frustrated noise helps. In most cases your Border
Collie will come up to you and in his own way ask for another chance.
Give him that extra
chance. Remain calm. Go through the same situation exactly as you did
before. Perhaps use a leash and treats to help guide your Border Collie.
Set him up to succeed and liberally praise him when he does well.
