How to Train your COLLIE ROUGH

Training Your Collie (Rough & Smooth)

Famous as "Lassie," the Collie is an incredibly sweet, highly intelligent, and remarkably gentle herding dog that is notoriously easy to train.

Key Training Tips:

• Gentle Corrections Only: Collies are profoundly sensitive. A harsh word will upset them for hours. Use only soft praise and positive reinforcement.
• Bark Control: They are highly vocal dogs that love to bark at everything. Teach the "quiet" command early and consistently.
• Herding Instincts: They may gently try to herd running children. Redirect this behavior to toys or organized herding games.

They are eager to please and excel in obedience, making them one of the absolute best breeds for novice dog owners.
