How to Train your SHETLAND SHEEPDOG

Training Your Shetland Sheepdog

The "Sheltie" looks like a miniature Collie and possesses immense intelligence, boundless energy, and an intense desire to please its owner.

Key Training Tips:

• Barking is a Huge Issue: They are highly vocal and will bark at absolutely everything. Teaching the "quiet" command is the most critical part of their training.
• Gentle Motivation: Like Collies, they are profoundly sensitive. Never yell; they respond beautifully to upbeat praise and treats.
• Agility Superstars: They absolutely dominate in agility and obedience trials. Give them complex puzzles to solve to keep their active minds busy.

They are incredibly affectionate and make fantastic companions, provided you can manage their tendency to bark.
