I used to own a sheltie named Max who just passed away last year and this video made me so happy thinking of him and the same tricks I would teach him! Thank you for posting, brought a bittersweet smile to my face :)
These Dogs are the most intellegent, easy to work with Dogs out there. They are a real joy to be around with and they love their owners as well to. Always ready to please and are a good working Dog.
My boy is now 11 years old, he's still as fit as a fiddle and healthy. This brought tears too my eyes because I know I will never have another Sheltie pup @ 76 I am too old to commit myself to another, there have been 3 altogether over 42 year, every one just wonderful, but like all dogs they don´t teach themselves.
I don't think you're too old for another puppy. Someone else in these comments have said that they've plenty of friends they'd trust with their dog if the time comes
I lost my 13 year old in december...knew all the same tricks except "Pizza" id....I have had 4 shelties over the years since childhood...number 5 is coming in August and I'm 73!...Life without a sheltie is hard to imagine...if your health and circumstances are good, I encourage you to fill your life with a sheltie again!
I lost my Sheltie of 17.5 years a week ago and this video gave me so much joy. She knew all of them except for item identification🥺🥺🥺 What amazing fur babies they are❤️
Wow, she got so old! 🤗🐶 I lost my sheltie this summer, she was only ten and a half... It was way too soon i think. What did you feed your dog? Mine got dry food, but I found out when she got kidney failure, that dry food actually can cause such problems! I had no idea, and thought I was giving her the best food... For my next sheltie I will make homemade dog food and hopefully she will have a long and healthy life 🐶♥️ They are such wonderful dogs! ♥️ I can hardly wait 'till May...!
I had a Sheltie for 16+ years. When we went to kindergarten obedience class, she was the "star". All the other dog owners were in awe of my Sheltie's ability to quickly learn and obey commands. The only real problem I had with my Sheltie was getting her housebroken. I thought it took forever, but suddenly one day, I came home and there was no surprise.
I adore this breed. I had one and was heartbroken when we lost him. They are not easy to find. I don’t care if I am old when I get another. Many of my friends I can trust to take him.
I remember being 13 and my parents coming in with our first dog. A puppy sheltie who fit in my two hands! Beautiful Ben! It used to take me over an hour once a week to brush him fully! He was so good. Now I'm much older and have a Jack Russell called Smudge! He's 13 but thinks he's a puppy! Dogs are such a joy! ❤️❤️❤️
I have my fifth Sheltie, and she is so smart that even I am amazed that she often does what I tell her to do the very first time I tell her to do it, even with commands she hears for the first time. They have all been wonderful pets, and great around all kinds of kids.
I used to have big dogs - I'm on my 5th Sheltie and I'm never going back! All dogs are great - what counts is getting the dog that matches yourselves. A serious problems with Shelties is you want to have several dogs at the same time. The live a long time and it is "hell" saying goodbye to a dog that you had for almost 17 years like was the case with my last loss... I still miss the "old Shelties". It was quite funny - for the first few minutes I was not sure if it was in Denmark... the living room could have been and the commands and the click'er too... Good luck with the "terrorist"
Internet is telling me to get a sheltie my recommendation is full of videos about them they are my favorite dogs! Btw loved this vid the sheltie is so talented and cute❤️🥺 (haha and sorry bad grammar :( )
My shetland sheepdog is amazingly well trained. Having been a personal dog training instructor for many years, having won several shows, and having taught in several training schools, I can honestly attest to the fact that the countless responsible dog owners out there (far outweighing the irresponsible minority in matters of statistics) are doing all they can to enjoy their pets in peace, despite those out there, sarcastically or otherwise, who seems to want to jump onto any anti-dog campaign out there because it suits their personal cause.
I miss my sheltie who passed away Friday, July 31, 2020. He was 12 1/2 year of age and weight 50lbs. He look like a mini Rough Collie. I want another one. I previous own 2 Rough Collies . This 1st Rough Collie passes away at the age of 12 in 1993. The 2nd Rough Collie passed away in 2007 from Nasal Cancer at the age of 14. I down sized and got my sheltie in March 2008.
I have had 2 Shelties and 2 Long Haired Collies, when I was young. The Shelties were much more easily trained to do anything I wanted them to do. All the normal commands, sitting, roll over, stay. But I took it next step further and play Frisbee and catch every throw every time. Then bring back to me and drop it in my hand for the next throw. When we were done playing frisbee, I would say to him. OK let’s go put the frisbee away and put it right in the spot where it belonged! Next thing is too make him pick up and hand me any item with a bunch of items on the floor and he would grab the item I requested to fetch. One thing that probably are aware of is when these breed is teething is there ears will do straight up and if you don’t use Cod-liver Oil in the inside there ear to keep it cartilage soft during this period of teething! 😊
I love Shelties, I've always wanted one...ever since I was little, really long, but I still don't have one. My parents simply won't allow it... and I'm already, yes, big enough❤❤❤
I have only had one Sheltie in my life, but I will never forget Bear, I have to say of all the dogs, Bear was my favorite doggy. He's been gone for at least 17 years now, but I remember him as if he just left my life yesterday and even if that sounds sad...it's not! I loved him lots and he was my favorite friend of all the furry friends I've had.
i have had shelties all my life, im on my 4th now getting close to her 12th b-day. Im a bit curious about this video thou, ive never met another sheltie owner in 30+ years that uses clickers, yet alone that still has to use a clicker to train a sheltie to sit after 3 weeks... i might be missing something or...
Such a beautiful dog and extremely smart. We recently got a Sheltie from the same breeder as you guys! Ian showed us this video on how quickly they pick up tricks :-)
People sometimes underestimate sheltie's. I have a sheltie and they are brilliant watchdogs and his bark is quite intimidating if someone comes to the door. The second sheltie we owned was very protective of us and even the postman was scared of him. We had to put a metal letter box on the inside of our door so our sheltie didn't try to bite his hand. On another occasion he lunged at a rottweiller when out for his work! And I'm not joking. Our 2nd one as mentioned was so brave. Bless him x
My nana has a Shellie and she’s a year old now and she is such a devil the other day she brought in a dead bird and she keeps pulling my grandads tomatoes off the plant Andover hair is about this long: _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ yeah that’s about right her name is Bonnie and her furr gets sooooooo matted nana brushes so much out everyday and it’s still matted.
Hoping that you are all safe...not sure where you are relative to the wildfires in Australia...Sending your video to a friend who recently lost his 16 year old Sheltie...this will warm his heart!
Marjorie Jensen yes, I had one too! He went to the Rainbow Bridge a year ago! I miss him so much but can’t bring myself to get another one, he was so precious, smart, loyal, such unconditional love. Have looked at other dogs, just can’t do it!🌈
Your sheltie is quite young, so it is natural to have some difficulties with "come here"; puppies have so much to discover in the world that it is hard to keep their attention. Two tips I have would be 1. Start small- first try to teach your dog to come in a controlled environment with not many distractions (such as your living room), and standing very close to your dog. Once your dog is doing it consistently, increase the distance gradually. Later you can add distractions like objects, other people, or dogs, but it has to be gradual. 2. Give high value rewards- sometimes it is hard to teach a trick because the dog is not too interested in the reward. The more distractions there are, the higher should be the value of the treat- (find out what your dog loves, like chicken- you will be impressed on how much their willingness to follow your commands can change if you use the right treats).
There are exceptions but Shelties are usually not destructive. Ours is very delicate, with quite a "soft mouth". However, you need to ensure your dog has been properly exercised physically and mentally and has access to toys of variable shapes and consistencies. Otherwise, any dog could potentially chew on things around the house.
So cute well trained. I'm looking for a dog. Mine died of hereditary heart disease so are looking for a healthy breed that a medium size dog that would live inside but have a farm to run around in. Anyone can suggest a healthy active but not too maddly active breed?

I thought of something I should mention because I found it rather amazing. I was really ill for awhile and I had to get someone to take care of Laddie. When I finally got to come home, Laddie was so happy. The amazing thing was, he remembered all the tricks I had taught him! I was so pleasantly surprised!
Taught our Sheltie Charlie, to sit, down (lay down), speak (bark), over (roll over), shake (both paws, and the hardest was to stand (balance standing on hind legs). The longest he stood and held balance was 3 to 5 seconds. Also taught him to chase balls and retrieve. Could not ever teach him to return to my hand. He always return to a spot to my left and placed on the ground about 2 steps every time no matter. A glitch in his mental programming I guess. I was cool with it; I needed the exercise anyway and Charlie must have thought the same after the running he did. I can see his thoughts saying, “I’ll make him move too”. LOL 😆
It's just called a clicker. It is generally used as a training tool. As you lure your dog into a position (such as a 'sit'), you click to indicate to the dog that he did the correct action (a sit) and then give him his reward (treat). Repeat as needed. Once the dog understands what he is to do, you can fade out use of the clicker for that particular behavior.
My pup does the same tricks and also crawls along the floor. I also taught her to always sit and stay on my door mat. At age 5 or 6 months old she got loose from her harness and ran in our complex and across our parking lot street. I found her patiently sitting on my door mat waiting for me to catch up. I praised her and gave her a few treats on the mat and I hooked her back onto her harness all on that mat. Only then did we go inside. I've tried to teach her the importance of the mat as a symbol of a home base After each trip outside or coming home from errands she's always been taught to sit and shake hands while sitting on it. She's always recieved love, praise and a small treat for doing this I'm very proud she gets the significance of the front door mat as he safe home base if something like that ever happens again. Her name is Sia It means helper in Hebrew. The prettiest name i could think of with deep meaning to be my next service dog. It takes 18 months to 2 years to train a dog to help you doing service work. She's now 11 months old about 20 pounds.
I have Hugo 16 weeks old now. Half Catahoula the other half..Border Collie/Heeler, Australian Shepherd. He is this smart but doesn’t know all these tricks yet...He rings a bell to go potty outside. He will know all these and more. An agility course is being made for him. Your dog is adorable and you are doing amazing on the training.
You have a beautiful sheltie puppy! I have always always wanted one, finally found one and the lady sold him before I could travel to her place which took three hours to get to her. I was devastated and cried for hours. Luck to find another breeder and brought that puppy. We adored that dog with all our hearts. He had some kind of heart problem and died shortly after he turned eight. I have rescued another dog, Jack Russell-corgi mix. And we love her. I want another Sheltie so bad I can’t stand it. They are not easy to find, and when you do, they cost a fortune. I will keep looking until my dying days.
I had a Sheltie/Golden Retriever mix named "Simba" as well. He looked like a shorter, fluffier golden, with a sharper snout, upward curving tail and the classic Sheltie dorito-shaped ears xD. Still, most people would think he was a golden retriever at first glance, but his personality was 100% sheltie! I love this breed so much
I had a Sheltie named Angel in the 1990's and she was so smart I didn't need a leash. I would tell her to STAY and she would sit there while I walked away almost three football fields away. She would not move from her spot. After several minutes, I would wave my hand and yell ANGEL...COME, and she would come immediately running fast the whole way. I would also tell her stay on the side of a neighborhood street and I would walk to the other side. Cars would drive by between us, and she would even NOT chase squirrels. She would stay obediently. The Come and she trots over to my side. NOTE: Do not try this with a female borzoi (sight hound). They are trained to ignore everything and chase down the prey. It was VERY tough to get her to stay or to call back once she saw the rabbit, etc. Only under special conditions would I have her off leash, unlike Angel who I did not need a leash for although I always carried it with me.
We just lost our 16 year old Sheltie, Isis last Thursday. I'm still in tears. We are working to find another to go with our 3-year old boy sheltie Sully. Shelties don't really do well alone, we have found, they need someone else to play with when mom/dad are busy. We'll be getting a puppy this summer and I'm planning on teaching that one a bit better than we did Spaz boy. My girl Shelties (Isis and Rhi) were both very well trained and behaved and served as service dogs to me. I'm going to be training the new one to help me.
