How come my dog never opens the door, save’s my child’s life, or adopts little homeless kittens? Aren’t all collies suppose to be as smart as Lassie??

The dog you saw on Lassie was not born that way! Collies, by nature, are more adapt at learning human commands and obeying them fully. However, it takes practice! Many many hours went into training each of the Lassie dogs to do those tricks. You must also train your collies! No dog should go without obedience training (knowing how to behave in the human world) and trick training (knowing how to have fun with humans).

Come = “Come here”, “Whatcha doin”
Jump = “Up and adam!”, “Ally Oop Oop”

Training your collie should begin the moment you arrive home with
your new pup. Most "household rules" training (i.e. off-limit furniture
& rooms, table manners) will occur naturally as you go about your daily
routine. Other commands require more devoted, focused sessions of
training. Because a young pup has a short attention span, training
sessions should remain short - 10 to 15 minutes at the most, a few times
each day. Depending on the difficulty of action, your collie's own
personality, and previous learning experience, it may take anywhere from (Click to read this full article…)
