The Border Collie is a very smart dog, so provide appropriate training early and keep it on a leash when out, walking behind you and not moving unless you do, which prevents chasing vehicles or confronting pedestrians. Second, watch hygiene, because Border Collies are lively and often get dirty, so bathe them 2-3 times a month to avoid skin disease or parasites. Finally, mind the diet: their stomachs are not great, so feed on a regular schedule and measured portions, choosing light, low-salt, nutritionally balanced dog food.
