Shetland SheepdogAmerican Kennel Club's Shetland Sheepdog 
The American Kennel Club recognizes the Shetland Sheepdog breed in their Herding Group. These are not miniature Collies, but a working Collie in miniature. My husband and I had three Shelties at one time, in our two bedroom apartment in Missouri. What a ball of energy they were! Shelties are highly strung and have a lot of energy. Exercise is the key to solve this problem. Long walks, trips to the park and outings to the lake, took care of our pack. Their names were Precious Sherry Shereece, Lady Teela Quiet-star and Sir Reginald Chilton, and don’t even ask me how we came up with those names! Each one had a different personality, Sherry was a lover and enjoyed being petted, Teela was quiet and aloof, at first we thought. Teela's brother Reggie, was full of energy and wasn’t afraid to kick-up his heals in his younger days.

Shelties come in three basic colors. The sable and white, also black, sable and white, then there is the rare blue merle. They are classified by the American Kennel Club in the Herding Group. The breed was created around the Shetland Isles for herding sheep and cattle, that’s why their coats are so thick and weather resistant. It’s a double coat with guard hairs on top and a soft undercoat which helps protected them in cold and hot climates. Shelties normally weigh around thirteen to twenty five pounds and stand about fourteen to sixteen inches. Being a very vocal animal, they are great watch dogs and will let you know when someone’s at the apartment door. They are perfect sized dogs for either the apartment or a small house and especially great companions for the elderly that could use a dog for a lap dog and/or just to be their alarm. They are also good with children, if they are raised with them from puppies.

This is a common question that most first-time Dog owners ask me. Before I answer your question, let me ask you a few instead:
If your answers are mostly in the negative, its time you seriously reconsider your role as a sincere Dog trainer and an ideal pet parent. Learn how to bond with your Dog with this free mini course. Get Your Dog To Listen To You Before you begin any training, you must first establish yourself as the "ALPHA dog" of your family. Your Dog must know that you’re the leader of the pack and it is YOU who is in charge. Here is a list of simple DO's and DONT's that you must follow if you want to be the Alpha:
Once you successfully established yourself as the Alpha, training your Dog and making him listen will be a lot easier than you can imagine. Remember, if your Dog does not learn to "listen", all your training efforts will be in vain! Does your Dog know his name? Does your Dog look at you whenever you call him by his name? This is the first and the most critical step involved in Dog Training. If your Dog doesn't respond to his name, you cannot have his attention for teaching him any other commands. To make sure that your Dog recognizes his name, take a treat in your hand and hold it away from your body. Call your Dog's name. He is most likely to look at the treat in your hand. Continue calling his name untill he turns and looks at your eyes. Give him the treat immediately. Repeat this exercise by holding the treat in the other hand. Once you're sure that your Dog has learnt to recognize his name, just call his name and reward him for looking at you by petting or with a hug. You must understand that Dogs respond far better to positive reinforcement than they do to coercion or force. Learn how to train your Dog better with this free mini course.
