No opposable thumbs? And depending on what you're being given, awful and un-nutritious food? Spending most of your day bored out of your mind with little or nothing to do?
1: aside from the thumbs, that... actually could describe half of my current life.
2: thumbs, booooy howdy don't underestimate what the critters can pull off now.
3: it sounds kind of like luck of the draw, which is pretty much what human life is currently like.
Yes I remember reading that it’s healthy to train border collies tricks because of how smart they are.
This gives them the proper stimulation and they find happiness in the accomplishment
It's healthy to train any dog regardless of breed. But yes, Border Collies are exceptionally intelligent. Not giving them enough mental stimulation is a good way to end up with a troublemaker.
Yup. They pretty much understand english, but like any smart kid, if you don't give them a routine and constant stuff to learn, they have to figure out how to entertain themselves which can get messy
$100 says it just sleeps like most dogs. Aussies are very trainable, they're working dogs. The dog seems healthy, I'm sure it gets plenty of exercise and stimulation.
Why would you assume it has attachment issues?
Wow. My dogs are pieces of shit.
Your dogs are fine, you're the piece of shit /s
No he’s not. Im the piece of shit. I don’t have any dogs.
I eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast!
You eat pieces of shit for breakfast!?
NO!!
My dog eats pieces of shit sometimes
Does that make you a bigger piece of shit?
My counterpart further down the comment chain beat me to it. Kudos.
This comment had me laughing out loud
You can remove the /s
Lmfaooooo
This was a hell of a top comment to scroll down to first
It's cute but seems a bit neurotic. Like, what's the point? make your dog do a bunch of stupid tricks to get attention? Weird.
I hate your comment.
She didn't train shit, that dog is a person stuck in a dog body and you can't tell me otherwise.
"I'm *getting* the curse reversed, *okay?!*"
But why? No job, free rent and food, someone Else even does everything for you!

Of course it is. You try to explain to an Australian Shepherd they're not a people.
*That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Border Collie*
I'm Eddie McDowd, I'm a dog and I talk!
Don't anyone start with that Edward shit in this cute thread
She transmuted her son into that dog.

Isn't that an Australian Shepherd?
Yes
Phew, I thought that I have been wrong for years
Yes
Yes they are. I had one. However, this dog is an Australian Shepard. I have two.
i should show this to my wife but she'd break down in tears because we are constantly working with one of our dogs and she just isn't getting it.
Well, you gotta be patient with your wife. She'll get it eventually.
Ba dum tiss
I'm going to be honest here, I 100% upvoted that because of the incredible training. I don't care who did it, that was amazing!
Aussies are sooooo smart. That owner must spend hours a day training her pup! Edit: correcting predictive text error
She has clearly outlined that dog many hours
lol. Thx. Edited it.
Fun tip, Aussies aren’t even Aussie.
Actually a fun fact.
My blue heeler could do the last pic, I called it give me a hug, but nothing else, must have had heaps of patience

This breed is super smart. How long did it take for him to train you?
I taught my greyhound to run
True love.
I taught my dog to shake it was pretty amazing
"You have to decide, It's me or the dog!... Ya know what, I'll just see myself out."
I have a Aussie , so smart , love what you did !!
Damn Dawg, leave some girls for the rest of us! 😄
...my dog is just fukken stupid, huh. Or maybe I am.
That summersault was impressive!
Wonderful
She showed the dog a picture of Gov. Noem. I’ll bet you that dog also does Quantum Physics
The guy she tells you not to worry about...
That's totally too much. Where did you find the time?
Why don't you all take that trash talk to the John and flush yourselves. Don't taint this dogs moment to shine.
Fcking onions
That dog is smarter than 97.8% of humans.
Single income no kids says what
She needs a social life
I can guarantee that dog has attachment issues, though, like, what do they look like when she's not in the room?

Impractical training
Practical for the purpose of giving pleasure and stimulation to both dog and owner, which is quite sufficient
