How to Train your BEARDED COLLIE

Training Your Bearded Collie

The Bearded Collie is a highly energetic, famously bouncy, and deeply affectionate herding dog. They are highly intelligent but can be stubborn.

Key Training Tips:

• Manage the Bouncing: They are famous for the "Beardie Bounce" when excited. Teach a solid "sit to greet" command early to prevent them from jumping on people.
• Keep it Fun: They bore easily with repetitive drills and will often invent their own games if not engaged. Use fast-paced, highly rewarding training methods.
• Grooming Tolerance: Their long, shaggy coat requires significant upkeep. Train them early to accept rigorous daily brushing without fussing.

They are joyful, highly trainable companions that excel in agility and obedience when their high exercise needs are met.
