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). If you do not have the patience to train to the level that Lassie was at, at least teach your dog the basic commands every pup should know such as sit, stay, come, down, quiet, and no.
