Your borzoi is great, but I think any competition with a border collie is unfair. As with your BC, he seemed to anticipate your next move and command before you gave it and positioned himself properly to pull it off. Border collies dominate in obedience, agility, freestyle, frisbee, ……. The only thing they can’t win is Best in Show” at dog shows. I think some judges have jealousy issues.

The borzoi did the tricks better then the border collie (especialy the trot) so my vote is for my favorite dog breed: The BORZOI!!

border collie for the win!

Glad you enjoyed and thank you!
The Borzoi is now 6 yrs and BC is 3 years. They were both trained with the “clicker”. They have both been trained since they were babies and know “how to learn”- and in a very fun and positive way!

Cute! I love the Borzoi! I want to know, how were they trained? How much time was spent on each dog? Did the Borzoi have any different type of training before? Such different breeds, am curious as to how that effected the outcome. Great job!!

border collie wins the day

Border Collie wins (though I’m biased on this… Haha.) but the Borzoi was beautiful. Looked like a dressage horse when she/he trotted!
Wonderful work!

Yes,I agree to vote for those amazing Borzois too.

Border collie wins, of course! They are the best and I love how they do everything they’ve learned with such determination to do well.
Borzoi was cute, too!

I vote for Borzoi too, it’s awesome.

Borzoi wins by a nose!
June 30th, 2010 at 3:51 pm
I vote for the Borzoi. It’s an amazing Borzoi to be in competition with a BC at all!
I LOVE the jumping and paw over paw tricks. Perfect for showing off the elegance.

Make training all about play… and remember.. dogs will repeat what they get rewarded for! So, just reward (toys, pets, food, or a happy voice telling him how awesome and clever he is!).. and no rewards for things you do not want. HAVE FUN!

You can order a clicker, books, videos online.
In training dogs you want to create a “communication” vs “obey” type of language. If you want your dog to come to you, follow you, heel, .. make yourself exciting by running in the opposite direction with a squeaky toy, squeak and throw it.. have him chase it, then squeak and throw another toy running in the other direction- in other words make it a game!

I heard about the clicker training! I’m not sure I’ll find it her in Brazil, but I’ll look for it.
My actual problem is that he doesnt follow me very well, and since it’s about a borzói, being firm and dominant, like people advise us usually, doesn’t “click” that well you know? That’s why I’m not sure if he got that I’m his leader. Because he obbeys me inside the house, but not much on the streets…

He is 4.5months old, still a puppy! =]
Happy to say that since my last comment I’ve made a lot of progress! He is going to the street with me, and I introduced my friends sweet female Golde Retriever, and they’ve played a lot! (I’ll post a video of them) I managed to teach him to sit, but I still have a lot of doubts. For example, I’m ttrying to teach him these things, but since he’s been with me for only 9 days, I’m not sure if it’s clear for him that I’m his leader already, you know?

How old is your new Borzoi? Glad he is a sweet and good boy! If he has not had any socializing before he came to you, he has a lot of adjusting to do. Have you heard of “clicker training”? I highly recommend getting a book and there are even video’s on it. Let me know how it goes!

I know it takes time, I am already giving him treats when I put the collar and when he goes further on the street, but he never relaxes… if you have any tips for me, I`ll be REALLY thankful!
Thanks!

Hello again! I am now with a male borzoi! And he is sooo sweet, very good boy. I didn`t have to teach him where his “bathroom” would be, he found a better spot than I could think of.
I`m just having a hard work to get him used to go to the street, coz he came from a calmer area (sorry for any language mistakes, I`m brazilian!). He is scared of everything. AND he`s not exactly used to using his collar.
