Intelligence

The Border Collie has been published as the smartest dog. This fact is well known by many people you meet when walking your Border Collie because of the media spreading this idea.

Intelligence is certainly something you will see in this dog. They are constantly watching and analyzing their surroundings and are often very calculated in their actions. An example of the breed's intelligence is the fact that the world record holder for a dog opening a car window in the least amount of time is held by a Border Collie.

Trainging a Border Collie to do tricks is relatively easy as they are so eager to learn new things. Generally this is great as long as they learn positive things and not destructive or dangerous behaviors.
