As requested from someone of my listeners, here is how I teach a reliable distance lie down, a behaviour that every Border Collie owner should have in their tools!

Border Collie are trained to lie down to work with sheep as second most important behaviour after a recall. They have to learn how to stop and take pressure away from sheep at far distances!

I have always taught all my collies how to lie down and I find it a MUST HAVE tool for everyday life, to have safe walks knowing I can stop my dog at distance if I need to.
