Walking a Border Collie
Border Collies are the classic high-drive worker; mental enrichment often matters as much as miles.
Built for sustained work — Border Collies need significant exercise and mental engagement on every walk. Repetitive routes quickly bore them; varied environments and training games woven into outings keep them satisfied. They may attempt to herd other dogs, cyclists, or people; training and awareness on walks help manage this instinct productively.
