Step 1
Shetland Sheepdogs are very intelligent dogs and can learn fast. They can be easy to train because they are easy to motivate; they like treats and toys!
-
Step 2
Keep in mind that Shetland Sheepdogs are from the herding breed. They do like to chase because of this. Some like to herd children and anything that moves.
-
Step 3
Give your Sheltie exercise. They need to exercise their bodies and their brains. If they do not get enough exercise they can be difficult to train.
-
Step 4
Establish leadership with your Shetland Sheepdog. All dogs are pack animals. We have to teach our dogs that we are the leaders. The better you are at becoming the pack leader, the easier it will be for you to train your dog. Leadership requires you taking charge and establishing some boundaries.
