Same way with my Blue heeler and Border collie, I trained the Border collie bieng that he is my dog. He can sit and lay down and do alot of things, bieng as smart as most 4 year olds he can do many many fun tricks, he knows sick'em for an intruder or my little brother. Another good thing s to spay and neuter your dog, they wont get out insearch of a mate and wont be as agressive.


It all comes down to training your dog in a good way.
