I was never going to get a dog in a thousand years. Then a little Border Collie pup found me. Almost 4 years later my best friend and partner is all grown up and the best part of me.
That makes my heart so warm! I never planned on a border collie but a heart felt story leaned me to them and I haven’t turned around since! They sure can nuzzle their way into our hearts
@@TheExploringK9s Are they as hyperactive as people tend to say? I'm planning on getting one and i want to train him well, not neglect him. But i see people typing if he doesnt get 2+ hours of daily mental physical excercise they get destructive, even aggressive etc. As i said i dont plan to neglect him or anything. But are they hard to manage compared to other dogs? Would really appreciate a reply
@@CroLukas It can be exaggerated as it tends people get poorly bred ones and on top pair it with little to no training, which can most definitely leave you with a very busy dog on the go 24/7! A lot goes into the breeder you get from, I search for a breeder who produces a off switch, doesn’t breed neurotic dogs (aka dogs who can get very over stimulated, want to stay busy, highly sensitive to motion/anything, etc) and overall breeds a nice balance of a dog who will turn on and go when you want but will relax when you don’t want to do anything (with the help of some training of course) but personally the right breeder and trainer they are so biddable and fun but also so easy going! Now I won’t keep my dog in the house with no training or exercise for a week, but if there’s a few days that are rainy or bad weather...my dogs will overall be fine and relax with the right structure like any other dog. I provide training and some sort of exercise relatively frequently though as I have the ability, time, and it makes me feel good trying to meet needs that they might not *always* necessarily need! But even my breeder will say, they can go compete, but also lay in the house all day and relax! So just look for a breeder where you can meet the dogs, are ethical and produce a temperament you like, look up some “place” videos and etc for training (which I’ll be starting a training series on here by the latest of within the month of February so feel free to subscribe to use that for help) but yeah! It’s definitely manageable and yes they can be a lot but with the right circumstances you can enjoy them just like any other breed!
My dog is a border collie, I love him with all my heart and it is the most important thing for me, I am 9 years old and I taught him by myself without any tutorials or with the help of anyone to sit down, give the paw, beg to jump over obstacles and more. Border Collies are the most intelligent dog breed in the world.
I rescued my border collie-husky mix when she was 7 months old. She missed all the important socializing from being neglected and was so fearful. 3 years later with lots of hard work and love, she’s come out of her shell (more and more every day!) Dogs are the best!
'm sure you have done a great job with that little sweetie, I' m also so thankful to you for giving that precious little pup a new chance and a better life❤️ Thankyou stranger, I appreciate you sm:)
I’d never get a border collie because I simply don’t have the time or space to keep one happy. You seem like the exact right person to have this awesome breed! Love seeing this!
Oh my my, your UNITY is so cute 😍 This weekend we also picked-up our 8 weeks old Border Collie, named him FLYNN. And it was nice to "pre-watch" his growth thru your video. Cheers from Canada!
Oh how they grow so fast. I remember when my dog was just a puppy so cute and now the hair growing on his chin is gray. He and I are getting older indeed
My dog died today, 29.04.2023 15:10, I already miss her. She slowly died away, She was 13 or 14 years old, She was blind, she wasn't barking properly anymore, she wasn't breathing , She was partially deaf and she got extremly skinny. And yes we tried to feed her. What I want to say, it's that She was my childhood dog, we had her since I was at the kindergarten (sorry for misspelling) and now I'm a teen. She tried to protect us at all costs. Maybe, press f in the comments if you want. R.I.P. Panda 2009 - 2023
This made me cry. I wish you many good years with your wonderful BC. I got 15 with mine, every one a gift of love and devotion, fun and laughter. I've just taken on a BC/terrier pup.....smart but more stubborn than a herding breed. You have done a wonderful job of training her and I will redouble my efforts at giving mine exposure to different environments. Thank you for sharing your story.
Awe thank you so much. My dogs are my world, especially this amazing addition, and border collies in general. They most definitely are a gift of love and devotion, fun and laughter. My heart cannot fathom imagining a day without them after having them in it. I can only imagine taking on a BC/terrier pup omg 😅 Thank you so much for the kind words snd with you the best 💛 Thank you for watching our story!
Aweee 😍 That’s so awesome I’m so excited for you and wish you the best! Enjoy every bit you can because it goes by so so fast 🥺 I’m beyond thankful for my girl
@Quinton Baker That is exciting! Enjoy the puppyhood while you can, they can be a handful but the breed is just a very driven high energy breed, something to understand and learn to love vs getting stressed out or etc! Have fun and enjoy the intelligent breed! Congratulations on the soon to be new pup! They are an amazing breed
Watching Unity grow reminded me so much of my late Border Collie Skye, she taught herself to alert to my asthma without any one telling her, she and I were inseparable, at 5 years old she took a severe reaction to a new booster vaccination, and had to be put down, the WORST day of my life, I was broken before I had her and she held me together and kept me alive. 2 weeks later my husband said you’re not coping and we need to find a helper. I’d had a springer before Skye. We stumbled on a Sprocker Spaniel litter, pups just born at 2 weeks old and went to see the boy. Meg had other ideas, she’s now 7 years old, but Skye is with us everyday and at times I swear her spirit has taught meg spirits of Skye’s quirks! Meg has now taught herself to help with my pain, I get extreme pain and cannot take any pain meds, Meg keeps me from spiralling and when she senses it she is determined to help and does! Dogs are amazing. I wish I had your skill to have trained meg as an official service dog. Trouble is U.K. laws are very different. ❤ thank you for the smile, I hope you ah e many years of companionship and adventures and support ❤
Isn’t a German Shepherd the most intelligent lol? I could be wrong, also it’s not the breed as my bad the dog it’s self! Remember God loves you no matter what have a blessed day!
I don't remember a day in my life that I've spent without a border collie, my mother has trained and kept them for the past 20 years now. The 2 that I grew up with passed away in 2017 and 2020, but we're getting another puppy just next week :)
That is so incredible you’ve been able to experience a border collie your whole life, sounds like a dream! ☺️ they are not for everyone but when they are for you, they are just such a special heart grabbing breed! Definitely not going the rest of my life without one again! I am sorry to hear about the pups you grew up with 🥺 sound like they had the best long joyful lives though! So excited for you to get another puppy next week, so happy for you and wishing you guys the best!
Awee! It definitely is one of my favorite things to teach! She struggled more than my other dogs lol but update at nearly 9 months she can do it finally! 😂💛
I wanna get a BC when I have a house of my own. For now, I have an amazing 10 year old lab and pit bull mix, though she looks more like a lab. She's such a good girl. She doesn't act like an old dog though, she acts like she's half her age.
When my dog hade 4 puppies I was very happy and it was interesting to play whit them but we had to give 3 of them away and it was very sad and the 4th puppie is saying whit us but u realy miss them
my Abby was healthy like a horse until she got diabetic, we had her for alll her shot heart worm tick med monthly, the only thing she started drinking a lot of water didnt think much of it summmer time until she peed on floor a few times at ten yaears old she was so healthy thought she would live to 20, took so good care of her,making sure kidneys were ok,,, she lived till 13 one month after her birthday she lived 2 yrs after finding out, please keep them always checked for this i would think it would show up in her blood work when she had them,,,,my bestest bestest friend i love he more than heavens gates so so hard without her, my dog before her died of kidney failure, i poured so much of the love i had for dog before her name was pugsley 16, always love them forget the little things u never ever stay mad because they did wrong......she could sence when you were having a bad day,i am paralized, full use of arms we would all time,she would i rolled with her...loved ball an her thousand toys...... just remember there here like us for a shot time,,,,,make each day count,if i was on the john she was under my chair or on cumputer behind it, had to be up against it,,,,remember her n health an his health if u have a male,,,i always had females....never no more,my heart cant take no my breakage an no other would replace my abby,she was my best medicine,not a toy but a true true friend, more than some human friends.
she had insulin in morning breaksfast an dinner time insulin very lean diet it was soo sad to see her weight loss an was never evr over weight ...love them ,hug them for me an say Abby from facebook said hello
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your story about your personal experience with your dog and giving the advice you did 💛 the scariest day to imagine is the one with any of my dogs no longer with me. They are my world and truly will enjoy them every day 💛 Dogs truly are the best, best-friends I think you can have! 💛
@@TheExploringK9s I'm looking forward to the challenges that may come up. The border collie my family had when I was a kid was an amazing dog, hoping my pup Dodge is a repeat. Question where do you buy the "in training" vests? would love to have one. Pick the little guy up tomorrow!
@@TheExploringK9s ordered one! Picked my puppy up today. He's amazing cried for 4 minutes that's it didn't have any accidents on the 6 hour drive home and already making head way on sit and recall.
I just got a French Bulldog puppy named Jazzy. Not the smartest puppy, but a real kind-hearted and chill dog in general. She's still a puppy and I'm trying to teach her to not be scared of loud noises and be trembly and scared of everything like small dogs tend to be like, and taking her to places like Home Dopet like in your video has helped her be calm around loud noises... Your little teaching sessions with your Border Collie seemed interesting, but I didn't know they worked so well! Now, I've had some paid training for my Frenchie, but little tips like 'loosen the leash' and 'teach her to wait so she will have patience' really help. Your video is both adorable and slightly informative on how to train a big dog, and provided hints for small dog owners. Thanks! Edit: btw your brown collie is absolutely. gorgeous.
Thank you so so much! I wish you the best luck! I’m working on a training series to help people more! As I am a Dog Trainer which is why you probably see us doing so much random things in this video! Also @The Exploring K9s on Instagram I have a highlight with tons of puppy tips! I really appreciate the words and wish you the best luck with your adorable frenchie!
This video is so cute & interesting!! i love it!! may i ask about more details on the training vest you chose? i'm looking to get one as well for when we go out so people don't disrupt us, but if you could recommend some patches to get for the vest, that would be great!
*I Love The message you put at the end, my collie sleeps all day all night that fat @$$, when he wakes up sometimes he goes crazy biting the bed cover jumpin on me*
Thank you! I should have a training series starting soon! It’s in the works and a heel will be apart of that and I’ll talk about a more focused heel in it for sure 😉💛 As a hint for now, engagement building with eye contact is major for it!
Hi Exploring K9s, I am in love with this video! My Border Collie passed in 2009 and I've waited so long for another...I'm finally picking up my new puppy mid-Jan! Can you recommend any reading material or websites on the training methods that you used in this video? I want my BC to be a well rounded, stable adult and exposed to everything. Thanks!
Awe! I’m glad that you loved it! I’m also happy to hear you’re finally picking up your new puppy! So I didn’t use much reading material or etc to do all of this just years of built up knowledge raising dogs/studying. Karen prior is an amazing trainer. I recommend overall just creating a structure and schedule, have them earn their freedom. Not allowed to roam if out of sight. Be consistent, set the rules you want as an adult as a puppy, start training day one. My Instagram account @The.Exploring.K9s even has a highlights with tons of puppy tips!
@@TheExploringK9s Thanks for all the great advice, I've always been a self taught trainer to my pets and they've all learned beautifully...even my cats can do simple tricks! I am so impressed with your dedication, and particularly in awe of the recall with distraction training...amazing! I will have to work on that one in particular because my pets think if I'm talking it certainly must be to them! Thanks again for producing and sharing such a warm and inspiring video!
I keep going back to this video! I love it, how do you balance risk of not all the full shots vs socialization? Do you have a video of a puppy schedule? Thank you, you are awesome!
Her from a puppy to a year old is coming out Wednesday (on her birthday) 🥰 Also it definitely depends on the area you’re in and how common/risky the parasites and etc issues that puppy could catch from being out and about! Also a lot of it is me holding the puppy, or if pet friendly I’d put her in a cart, and only place her down for training time! It’s just good management and watching them at all times and making sure your area isn’t severe in those issues, for instance if I lived in Arizona I wouldn’t of taken her out to pet stores or etc before full shots unless being strictly held or so on due to how extreme Parvo is there! Also I do not have a video on a puppy schedule but I could definitely make a detailed video about it in the future! My posting for training content should get more consistent here soon and I’ll eventually have all the helpful tips and tricks for puppies uploaded 🥰 and thank you so much for the kind words!
My first BC was an Aussie mix I named Gem-after the Empath on "ST". My next was a female BC girl I named Tess Siobhan and when she was 12 I got her a red/white BC, Gypsy Rose Lee. Tess's son, JackBNimble and his girlfriend, LittleBoPeep (Gypsy's cousin), came to live with me after Tess died at 16. Gypsy and Bo were already BFF after JackBNimble died and lived til they both too passed on in '18, 8 mos. Apart. I remember my fur babies growing up and miss all that so I hope to get another BC as soon as I can recuperate from my knee problems.
I actually will be using her/my other personal dogs and making individual detailed videos for how to train basic, advance obedience and tricks, including everything you listed!
This video makes me cry 😅😭 I love the border collie so much and my dream would be to have one. My mother told me we could have one in seven or eight months but it seems sooo long...😩 Sorry for my bad english, i'm french 😅
@@danivillalvilla4438 They are worth the wait but I can definitely understand how heart wrenching it must be waiting so long! I hope you can get one sooner than later 💛
Hello, The Exploring K9s! I got my dog which I said in my comment 5 months ago! It's the puppy of border collie and has 6 weeks now! they grow up so fast! he knows how to sit lay and go outside of the house and wait for someone! Hope you have a great day
@@TheExploringK9s My dog is sweet, but he got abused sooo he is a little stand-offish. He doesn’t like snuggles, so we don’t snuggle him. He will expect the occasional 3 second hug tho👍🏻😉
Yessssssss my family’s geting a cute dog after summer and it’s gonna be a border colliiiiiiiiiii EEeeEeeEeEEeEeEeeEEeeEeEeEeEeeeeReEEEeEeeEEeeEeEeEeeEEeeEeEeeEEeeeeEeeEE (so cuttteeeeee)
So Cute dog I wanna get myself one Border Collie soon it will be a little puppy and the reason why it would be little is cause it's easier to train when it's little.
Mi perro es un border collie, lo amo con todo mi corazón y es lo más importante para mí, tengo 9 años y le enseñé yo solo sin tutoriales ni con la ayuda de nadie a sentarse, dale la pata, ruega por saltar obstáculos y más. Los Border Collies son la raza de perros más inteligente del mundo.
I was never going to get a dog in a thousand years. Then a little Border Collie pup found me.
Almost 4 years later my best friend and partner is all grown up and the best part of me.
That makes my heart so warm! I never planned on a border collie but a heart felt story leaned me to them and I haven’t turned around since! They sure can nuzzle their way into our hearts
awww
@@TheExploringK9s Are they as hyperactive as people tend to say? I'm planning on getting one and i want to train him well, not neglect him. But i see people typing if he doesnt get 2+ hours of daily mental physical excercise they get destructive, even aggressive etc. As i said i dont plan to neglect him or anything. But are they hard to manage compared to other dogs? Would really appreciate a reply

That is so exciting and amazing to hear! I hope you two have a wonderful journey together! 💛💛
just socialize him as much as possible and desensitize him
I remember my border collie ran away for from a storm and never came back for 2 months but we found her luckily😬
Awwe, I am getting mine in two weeks when he will be 8 weeks old too, its a black and white border collie mix with bull cattle pup.

Now, I've had some paid training for my Frenchie, but little tips like 'loosen the leash' and 'teach her to wait so she will have patience' really help. Your video is both adorable and slightly informative on how to train a big dog, and provided hints for small dog owners. Thanks!
Edit: btw your brown collie is absolutely. gorgeous.
Thank you so so much! I wish you the best luck! I’m working on a training series to help people more! As I am a Dog Trainer which is why you probably see us doing so much random things in this video! Also @The Exploring K9s on Instagram I have a highlight with tons of puppy tips! I really appreciate the words and wish you the best luck with your adorable frenchie!
@@TheExploringK9s Thanks
My dream dog!!!
I really want a border collie and Australian shepherd when I grow up! They’ll be best buddies!!
A great combination for sure!
Haha I wasn’t able to pick a two dog breeds for a year it took so long lol! Before this I was thinking of a Samoyed and a Swedish lapphund!
@@Tw1nter Funny that you say that! I’m obsessed with Samoyeds and find it a breed on bucket list haha! 😅😂
This video is so cute & interesting!! i love it!! may i ask about more details on the training vest you chose? i'm looking to get one as well for when we go out so people don't disrupt us, but if you could recommend some patches to get for the vest, that would be great!
I've got a border collie and syberian husky and she is the cutest dog ever
Tbh those are the CUTEST DOGS I HAVE EVER SEEN pls take care of them if u don't it's ☠☠☠ for u
Haha thank you! 💛☺️ They most definitely are well taken care of and spoiled
From cute to cute!
I will be putting a special video together for once she hits a year old to do an update 🥺💛 She has my heart, now at nearly 11 months old
I am exited for the one year video! my puppy is almost three and a half months old!
@@skythebordercollie7417 Awee 😍 they grow up in a blink of an eye!
Yes
So cute and amazing
On Monday I’m going to get a border collie! I am so excited, they Look so cute
That sounds amazing good look! 😍🥰
Dog is sooo sweet😊❤️🤗
I just got my first border collie today and im really excited. I named her Lily.
That is so exciting ahhh!! 😍 wishing you the best of luck!
*I Love The message you put at the end, my collie sleeps all day all night that fat @$$, when he wakes up sometimes he goes crazy biting the bed cover jumpin on me*
wow, this amazing! you're doing such an amazing job!! can you make a video/tutorial on how to do a focused heel please! :)
Thank you! I should have a training series starting soon! It’s in the works and a heel will be apart of that and I’ll talk about a more focused heel in it for sure 😉💛 As a hint for now, engagement building with eye contact is major for it!
SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!
Thank you! Plan to make an updated montage of her in honor of her once she hits a year old!
Cutenesses overload
I have a Australian shepherd!🙂
Same
@@carterjohnson6060 nicee!
I have pharaoh hound
I got a chow chow shih tzu mix at December. He's soooooo cute and smart. He's 3 months now.
Aww this was such a cute video! 🥺 She is such a beautiful pup, and is doing so great with her training! 💗
Thank you so much 🥺💛 That means a lot, I’m most definitely very proud of where she is at and cannot wait to see where our future takes us 😊
Wow!! Awesome dog. Cool life 🤩
Hi Exploring K9s, I am in love with this video! My Border Collie passed in 2009 and I've waited so long for another...I'm finally picking up my new puppy mid-Jan! Can you recommend any reading material or websites on the training methods that you used in this video? I want my BC to be a well rounded, stable adult and exposed to everything. Thanks!
Awe! I’m glad that you loved it! I’m also happy to hear you’re finally picking up your new puppy! So I didn’t use much reading material or etc to do all of this just years of built up knowledge raising dogs/studying. Karen prior is an amazing trainer. I recommend overall just creating a structure and schedule, have them earn their freedom. Not allowed to roam if out of sight. Be consistent, set the rules you want as an adult as a puppy, start training day one. My Instagram account @The.Exploring.K9s even has a highlights with tons of puppy tips!
@@TheExploringK9s Thanks for all the great advice, I've always been a self taught trainer to my pets and they've all learned beautifully...even my cats can do simple tricks! I am so impressed with your dedication, and particularly in awe of the recall with distraction training...amazing! I will have to work on that one in particular because my pets think if I'm talking it certainly must be to them! Thanks again for producing and sharing such a warm and inspiring video!
I’m gettin a colle in 4 weeks can’t wait
So excited for you!
Do you have it?
This made my entire year, thank you so much 🥰
Awee that means so much! Thank you for the nice comment 😊💛
@@TheExploringK9s Of course- this is literally the cutest thing ever, seriously, thank you SO much for making/posting this. :)
OMG I LOVE DOGS!!!!!
I have a border collie. His name is Thembi but he loves it when called Thames
I have border collie too so strong and smart 😊
I love border collies there my favorite dog breed I know ALOT about them
I keep going back to this video! I love it, how do you balance risk of not all the full shots vs socialization? Do you have a video of a puppy schedule? Thank you, you are awesome!
Her from a puppy to a year old is coming out Wednesday (on her birthday) 🥰 Also it definitely depends on the area you’re in and how common/risky the parasites and etc issues that puppy could catch from being out and about! Also a lot of it is me holding the puppy, or if pet friendly I’d put her in a cart, and only place her down for training time! It’s just good management and watching them at all times and making sure your area isn’t severe in those issues, for instance if I lived in Arizona I wouldn’t of taken her out to pet stores or etc before full shots unless being strictly held or so on due to how extreme Parvo is there! Also I do not have a video on a puppy schedule but I could definitely make a detailed video about it in the future! My posting for training content should get more consistent here soon and I’ll eventually have all the helpful tips and tricks for puppies uploaded 🥰 and thank you so much for the kind words!
@@TheExploringK9s Thank you so much for all your tips, you are awesome!
Wowwww! So adorable they are!!! ♥️
Thank you 🥰💛
My first BC was an Aussie mix I named Gem-after the Empath on "ST". My next was a female BC girl I named Tess Siobhan and when she was 12 I got her a red/white BC, Gypsy Rose Lee. Tess's son, JackBNimble and his girlfriend, LittleBoPeep (Gypsy's cousin), came to live with me after Tess died at 16. Gypsy and Bo were already BFF after JackBNimble died and lived til they both too passed on in '18, 8 mos. Apart. I remember my fur babies growing up and miss all that so I hope to get another BC as soon as I can recuperate from my knee problems.
Awee! I wish you the best of luck with your knee and hope you can have another wonderful BC in your life again!
Could u do a detail video on how u trained her? Like stay with distractions, walking close by, etc!
Also focus!! That’s a big one
I actually will be using her/my other personal dogs and making individual detailed videos for how to train basic, advance obedience and tricks, including everything you listed!
This is my favorite video on UA-cam 😍
So cute this is one of my favorite breeds 💚

I wish I could take my puppy out for training! He’s around 10 weeks and haven’t finished his rounds of shots so we are scared to take him out
trust me it is worth it or at least get people to u as socialization is very important early on
This video makes me cry 😅😭 I love the border collie so much and my dream would be to have one. My mother told me we could have one in seven or eight months but it seems sooo long...😩 Sorry for my bad english, i'm french 😅
Awee! 😭 The best of luck when you get one and I waited 2 years for this girl, it’s worth the wait! 💛
@@TheExploringK9s I have been waiting 8 years and I still waiting, sorry for my English, I’m Spanish 🙃
@@danivillalvilla4438 They are worth the wait but I can definitely understand how heart wrenching it must be waiting so long! I hope you can get one sooner than later 💛
I’m crying I hade my mom get rid of my dogs when I was a kid I miss them
Got an 8 week old beagle puppy. He won't leave my side :)
Awee that’s the best feeling! 💛

So cute! My dog is a black lab border collie! I love him to bits! His name is Goose! 😂
Awee! I worked with a lab before named goose! Absolutely adored that dog and name, funny but cute 😂💛
@@TheExploringK9s My dog is sweet, but he got abused sooo he is a little stand-offish. He doesn’t like snuggles, so we don’t snuggle him. He will expect the occasional 3 second hug tho👍🏻😉
*Except
So cute!😍

I completely agree! 😂💛
My border collie just passed away 😢💔😞😔

So Cute dog I wanna get myself one Border Collie soon it will be a little puppy and the reason why it would be little is cause it's easier to train when it's little.
Que fofinho esse cachorrinho 🐕🐕🐕😍😍😍👶👶🐕🐕🐕
Mi perro es un border collie, lo amo con todo mi corazón y es lo más importante para mí, tengo 9 años y le enseñé yo solo sin tutoriales ni con la ayuda de nadie a sentarse, dale la pata, ruega por saltar obstáculos y más. Los Border Collies son la raza de perros más inteligente del mundo.
