Even though he can be a spaz he's still all Sheltie

Keiran is easily the youngest dog I've ever had and I didn't know what to expect. True he's only 5 months old but I wasn't sure what to expect from puppy brain training wise because he can be a bit crazy around the house.

This dog is ALL SHELTIE! If there is food involved, I have his attention.

Most puppies get tired of training after a few minutes, Keiran would have worked all night for the food; and I was only using his kibble. By the end of the night I had him offering sits, beginning to down both from a sit and from a stand, waking 5-10 steps on loose leash (it's a start, we have a long way to go), and doing the basics of a come front while I move backwards a step. (He offered the sit in front of me so I figured, let's try it.)

This little 5 month old would have worked all night long if I asked it of him. I actually had to remind myself to give him a break!

What a focused little guy. (Now, remember that when he's 8-10 months and decides to forget everything for a while. )

Amen to that...Savannah is having blonde moments regularly now...I say that because she is so fair for a sable...

I actually was expecting to see something about Keiran being called a border collie- cause he is black and white

Yep that family will work all day as long as you ask. Birch is the same way with agility. He is actually getting that way with obedience. Grizz has great work ethic and passes it to his kids.
