"Slick" 8 week old border collie puppy in training

At 8 weeks old, Slick shows what makes him the pick of the litter. Pretty neat how responsive he is. He will be registered with the AKC and the American Border Collie Association.

When does the puppy get the ball?

Why do you always down him/her in the same spot?

[4hoovesnstripes]

@1colby the puppy wants to chase mama, not get the ball. His reward is when I let him "catch" her. I have him down in similar spots because it is a small room, and I want to demonstrate that he is running first, therefore he ends up in a similar spot each time.

Hello,

What kind of material is floor made of?? I asked this question several times and i didn't came up with a answer that gets me a possibility to know the best thing to put on a floor of a dog training space... i hope you can help me...

[4hoovesnstripes]

@zezinhodasdores This floor is made of rubber, it comes in 3 foot wide strips, then is sealed. It has withstood 4 years of daily doggy daycare, 30 to 40 dogs per day and is still in perfect condition. Definitely worth it. Occasionally, we need to put wax on some dogs feet to prevent them from getting blisters the first few times on the floor, especially if they play hard.

hi can u tell me if there is a slick collie nd wot country they are from? plz

[4hoovesnstripes]

I am afraid I don't understand your question. You may want to spell out your words... and explain your question if you would like a good answer.

Hi when you starter training the puppie? I have a BC puppy 8 weeks old and she is not that advanced :)

[EightPaws4Hoof]

@shadow88dancer Exactly, it's how most farmers train their sheep dogs. Older dog does all the work it's a lot easier than training a pup from scratch on their own. Dogs start learning straight away from birth, there isn't an age to start or stop training.

hey iv just got my first border collie he is nearly 6 weeks and i just wana grab a few tips?

he all ready seems so smart just after one day he is waiting for me to take him out side for toilet, i am so impressed.

at what age should i start with other training basics?

[lynsey9814]

@4hoovesnstripes absolutely amazing how both of them do exactly what you say when you throw the ball. i'm getting my first border collie in a few months. any tips on training her as good as what you've done, lol.

@darkslayer763 Slick is the name of the puppy in the video, not a breed of canine. Border collies are a European breed that originated in Scotland. They are common in England and Ireland. You could search that in 2 seconds.

ha ha ha..monkey see monkey do...in this case the older BC is setting a practical example for the puppy to see and follow....excellent method,saves lots of time .

he looks like an australian shepherd not a border collie. his colouring and eyes are that of an australian shepherd
