I am looking for a dog breed that is easily going to be trained to stay by my side when going hiking and will not take off after other animals or people. I know some breeds are much better at this than others for example shiba inus are notorious for running away while border collies will ususally stay near you. Do you know of any other breeds that are good at off leash training/walking/hiking?

Border collie is one of the best trainable dogs out of all the breeds. They usually perform in obedience, fly ball, Frisbee and agility trials. If you obtain this dog, mere physical exercise will not keep the dog active. They should be given some task to keep their mind as well as body energetic.

Border collie is an extremely energetic dog. He needs open space to exercise and being a working sheep herding dog, he always performs tasks happily. He will get too bored and perhaps destructive when you make him sit in a place. Border Collie Obedience Training is very easy to carry out as the dog is extremely agile and intelligent.

we have a 2 year old Chihuahua mix female dog and I was wondering if it is to late to train her to go on news paper inside since we are gone a lot and if so how would i go about doing that.She currently goes on a front enclosed porch that has a wood floor.

My 1 year old Pomeranian has been tinkling in small amounts on the edges of the kitchen floor instead of on his dog potty. I think he’s “marking”. Does this stop if he gets nuetered?

I need 2 dogs for a training program for a school and I am having touble thinking of the beed to buy. I wanted to stay away from the most common choices like golden retreivers and labs, and go for a different breed.
