How to train a Border Collie to follow? First, let the Border Collie play for a while, pull the leash with your left hand, and call the dog's name. Then, while giving the command "Leave", use your left hand to pull the rope forward and move forward about 50 meters at a faster pace. If the dog appears to be ahead or lagging behind, immediately issue the "reliance" command and pull the rope once. The dog can extend the rope longer and pat his thigh while giving the command. After repeated training many times, the dog's conditioned reflex can be formed.

When training, first let the Border Collie play for a while in a quiet environment, hold the leash with your left hand, and call its name to attract its attention.

While giving the command "Leave", use your left hand to pull the traction rope forward and move forward at a faster pace, walking about 50 meters each time.

When the dog appears to be ahead or behind, immediately issue the "reliance" command to correct it, and pull the leash once to stimulate the dog.

In order to allow the dog to form a conditioned reflex of the gesture, you can use your left hand to pull the leash and hold it longer. When the dog once leaves the correct position, give the "reliance" command and pat yourself with your right hand. The left thigh can be trained repeatedly for many times to form the dog's conditioned reflex.

When the Border Collie puppy can follow the command correctly without a leash, it can be trained to change speed and direction and trained in more complex environments. When the dog is stimulated by the outside world and does not execute the command, immediately give it a command with a threatening tone and correct it with the stimulation of jerking the leash.
