Border Collie Training Vol 3 – Taking care of your Border Collie
Nutrition, common diseases and general care of your Border Collie
Taking care of a dog is often ...
- ... underrated and regarded as being unnecessary.
- ... only related to the grooming of the fur.
- ... completely neglected by many owners.
What is really important about the care of your Border Collie and how do you feed him properly? How can you recognise diseases and parasites early and, if possible, even prevent them?
If you want to know how and how often to check on your Border Collie's eyes, ears, teeth, paws, fur and skin, this guidebook is exactly right for you. You will learn what to watch out for. You will also learn what to watch out for when you buy commercially prepared food and what the advantages and disadvantages are of the various alternative methods of feeding, such as home-cooked, BARF or vegetarian or vegan feeding. In addition, you will discover everything you need to know about vaccinations and castration to help you decide whether they are right for you and your Border Collie.
This is volume three of the Border Collie training guides.
Volume 1 for your Border Collie puppy is also available with the title "Border Collie Training: Dog Training for your Border Collie puppy".
Vol. 2 for your grown up Border Collie is also available with the title "Border Collie Training Vol. 2: Dog Training for your grown-up Border Collie"
The author Claudia Kaiser says about her book:
"I love my dogs and know what is important to watch out for regarding their nutrition and general care. Many owners underestimate how important it is to find out more about what you are feeding your dog. Many owners also underestimate the time it takes to care for his physical wellness and how important it is to recognise disease or parasites early. These things add enormously to the quality of life and happiness of your dog."
Read about background information, read reports on others' experiences and obtain step-by-step instructions and secret tips which are tailor-made for your Border Collie.

Preface
Congratulations! You are lucky enough to share your life with a Border Collie, or you are close to making that choice. This beautiful and memorable breed will fulfil your days and soon you will not be able to imagine life without your four-legged friend.
It has been scientifically proven that taking care of dogs has a positive effect on humans. You will notice it yourself when you automatically begin to light up and be happy when your Border Collie greets you, tail wagging, after a long day at work. Does it not help you to relax when your dog lies snoring in front of the couch while you watch a film?
Dogs are real stress killers for us people. Their honest love for us makes us feel better and happier, besides the incentive that every dog owner has to go out into the fresh air and ideally move around much more than those who do not own dogs. Even those who are chronically ill have confirmed that they feel better having a dog. Your four-legged friend is therefore a real bonus for your health.
It is exactly for that reason it is important you take care of the health of your Border Collie. Hence the German saying If the dog is healthy, the human is happy
. It is particularly important for you to take care of him because your dog is often unable to do it for himself.
Unfortunately, these days many dogs are overbred, which itself is the cause of many diseases and other problems which can overwhelm an unexpecting owner. I recommend strongly that you take care when choosing your dog.
Look at his parents and ask the breeder about diseases which have occurred in the litters up to then. If a puppy is already in poor health when you buy it, you will probably have a lot of problems with him later on. In order to avoid this, you should take care before making your choice and, if necessary, speak to a veterinary surgeon for his advice.
Apart from breeding-related problems, there are also a number of challenges which present themselves due to modern processes and developments which did not exist at the time of their ancestor, the wolf. Therefore, it is often necessary to take certain precautions which may cause those who are not familiar with dogs to shake their heads, using the argument: A wolf would not need that
.
If someone says that to you, I would suggest you ignore him. After all, it is about the well-being of your dog.
With this guide I want to give you the necessary knowledge and self-assurance to keep a watchful eye on your Border Collie so that you know how to react if something is wrong. If this would happen to you, you would probably react as I did and try everything within my power to take the pain away, but I did not know what to do.
It is not possible to prevent your dog from getting sick, even with this guide. However, what you can do is to ensure that these problems are either noticed early enough or you are able to use your knowledge to prevent them in the first place.
In conclusion, it is important for me to emphasise that this book contains tips and recommendations which I have collected through my own experiences and during general dog training sessions. This guide cannot replace a visit to the veterinary surgeon. It is purely intended to give you some knowledge and recommendations along the way. If your Border Collie is suffering from acute or long-term problems, you should take him to the vet without delay.
I wish you and your Border Collie all the best for the future and, above all, good health!
