Love it :)

My Lab does pretty much the same - keeps presenting the trick of walking backwards. When she is crawling backward I just have to click - even though I was waiting for something else - you din't :)

Thank you for taking the time and effort to share your training session. Exemplifying to others how working with a dog can be. In the moment, both dog and handler do their best to acheive a desired outcome.

@DeepDish73 When you have a Border Collie running in Open in herding trials and qualifying, and when you've put OTCh's on TWO dogs, and when you have a successful dog training and agility school, then you'll have the right to call me an asshole. Until then, you just keep putting your Border Collie in that box. How demeaning to do that to such an intelligent breed. Talk about an asshole!!! I'm quite sure your Border Collie thinks you're one, too.

You believe in what you saying?! Stop lying Asshole....

@VComps Hello??? Telling my Border Collie to get in the box and having them do it IS having the dog figure it out on their own. Duh?  My Border Collies don't need ME to keep them occupied. They're smart enough to do that on their own.

@hiploving Mine would, too. Who needs a clicker for that?

[hiploving]

hahah funny, my border would jump in if I told him once!

[reiki2guy]

@VComps Perhaps MY Border Collies would disagree. They enjoy games when there's some kind of purpose involved. I've had nine Border Collies and every one of them seemed to understand simple commands like "get in the box." Why, on earth, would I bother with a clicker?

[VComps]

The point is to make the dog figure it out on her own. Border Collies like to have a puzzle. Keeping a BC occupied physically is only half of it... you have to keep them occupied mentally too.

Wouldn't it just be easier and much less of a waste of time, since it IS a Border Collie, to just tell the dog to "get in the box?" I just watched this four minute video, went into the next room and told my two year old BC bitch to get in the box. She did. It took all of five seconds. This clicker training seems kind of ridiculous.
