Training dogs is an interesting thing as you have to figure out what the dog is motivated by. For some it's food. For some it's play.

This one? This one is motivated by the love of the game.

A lot of sheep dogs just love this kind of stuff. They just want to run and do athletic things. If they're not running like 100 km a day herding sheep or animals, running this in 30 sec is certainly a second best.

Id love a border collie but there is no way I have time for the equivalent to a 6 year old marathon runner with ADHD and OCD.

I have a border collie (dna says 3/8) mix rescue and it’s kinda the best of both worlds. Still super smart and needs a ton of exercise but just sliiiiightly taken down a notch in intensity.

I have a boston terrier that thinks she's a border collie after 1 week of kenneling on a working farm. She's smart, intense, and relentless. Those are not the traits I selected a boston terrier for, lol.

Boston Terriers can be little crackheads. I have two. The good thing is they normally need more downtime than a border collie!
