@Macdogald do u think If u had a cat u would be able to bring ur dog up to be nice to cats, cause I've got a cat and I'm about to get a border terrier?
@Coco8398 Of course! Just make sure the puppy never has a chance to realise that chasing cats is fun. You should try to teach your puppy that cats are pretty boring. :) Good luck on your new puppy!
@Muruagogo We have done obedience trials before, but not anymore. He's quite a stressy dog around other dogs, and I've decided he doesn't fancy it enough to continue.
This dog is pretty good :D really impressive, actually. I'm usually fond of JRTs but I love Borders after watching "Good Boy!" (That was Hubble in the movie.)Anyways, I found this video very inspiring.
Do you mind telling me, how long did it take for you to get this cute border terrier up to this level?
Mac doesn't really care about other people, is okay when working around dogs (sometimes will get distracted watching recalls in the next ring when we are supposed to be doing a recall!), LOVES to chase cats. ;) Mac is not really distracted by much when he is 'working', as he is here. However, he will chase cats, harass passer-byers, and confront dogs when he is not in 'work mode'.
I have a terrier too. He's name is Beckham and he's alittle dumb. He's not so obedient but loves playing soccer. I guess every dog is different, I still love him
Wow! Amazing! I can't belive he just did that for you! Our dog is 4 years old and we still haven't mastered getting him to do a simple 'sit' without having a chunk of cheese in our hand! I would love some tips on training them!
Seeing this dog work, can you imagine this, we have a 2 year old borderterrier, who changed of owner three! times.(dog wouldn't listen) We're the lucky ones to have her now!
I have 2 borders they are smart dogs and really easily trainable. Keen to do good too! The only trick I see in this video is the food! LOL they'll do anything for a treat! this one is a great little ambassador for the breed - terriers can be trained!

@Coco8398 , our Border Terrier lives with 4 cats, and they are all friends! We got him as a 6 month old, but he never behaved mean to them.

Very nice little dog and obviously a happy worker.... well done to you both. Do you do obedience trials or agility with him?

I trained my border terrier to a similar standard by the time she was a year old. And then we start agility trials with her. They learn very fast

@lfamilytube I've been training Mac since I got him at 8 weeks, though most of this video was achieved by about 6-8 months.

How well does MacDogald do around distractions such as squirrels, dogs, cats, other people, etc?

good on you. I've had border terriers for years. I find them pretty untrainable but so long as they can keep up with my horse I'm happy
