@lfamilytube I’ve been training Mac since I got him at 8 weeks, though most of this video was achieved by about 6-8 months.
@Muruagogo We have done obedience trials before, but not anymore. He’s quite a stressy dog around other dogs, and I’ve decided he doesn’t fancy it enough to continue.
Mac is eight years old now!
Thanks for your comment.
Very nice little dog and obviously a happy worker…. well done to you both. Do you do obedience trials or agility with him?
nice fanny pack….lol
I trained my border terrier to a similar standard by the time she was a year old. And then we start agility trials with her. They learn very fast
WOW!
really impressive, actually. I’m usually fond of JRTs but I love Borders after watching “Good Boy!” (That was Hubble in the movie.)Anyways, I found this video very inspiring.
This dog is pretty good
Do you mind telling me, how long did it take for you to get this cute border terrier up to this level?
Mac doesn’t really care about other people, is okay when working around dogs (sometimes will get distracted watching recalls in the next ring when we are supposed to be doing a recall!), LOVES to chase cats.
Mac is not really distracted by much when he is ‘working’, as he is here. However, he will chase cats, harass passer-byers, and confront dogs when he is not in ‘work mode’.
How well does MacDogald do around distractions such as squirrels, dogs, cats, other people, etc?
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pretty impressive. How long did all this take to teach him?
Nice video, I’ve added it to our forum
amazing i can hardly get my border to sit never mind all that… well done
I have a terrier too. He’s name is Beckham and he’s alittle dumb. He’s not so obedient but loves playing soccer. I guess every dog is different, I still love him
One day I will own one of these. What a treat to watch. And I am sure the Border Terrier is enjoying it as much as me
mine can sit and lie down on command, but he’s too intelligent to learn the come command
My dog is also a borderterrier and she can do better then that
ohh my dog is opposit he once at the obeace class he dragged to a husky rewing the place including knoking the teacher!(down
Wow! Amazing! I can’t belive he just did that for you! Our dog is 4 years old and we still haven’t mastered getting him to do a simple ‘sit’ without having a chunk of cheese in our hand! I would love some tips on training them!
Seeing this dog work, can you imagine this, we have a 2 year old borderterrier, who changed of owner three! times.(dog wouldn’t listen) We’re the lucky ones to have her now!
good on you. I’ve had border terriers for years. I find them pretty untrainable but so long as they can keep up with my horse I’m happy
I have 2 borders they are smart dogs and really easily trainable. Keen to do good too! The only trick I see in this video is the food! LOL they’ll do anything for a treat! this one is a great little ambassador for the breed – terriers can be trained!
Wow, that’s amazing. Is that magic? Or digitally edited? There must be a trick to it!
