Dogs in general and border collies specifically thrive on routine.
In the case of border collies, if you don’t give them a job, they will create one.
Our morning routine is to walk the neighborhood path ending at the park for a game of fetch.
Typically we head out the door about 7:30 a.m. When our day has a bit slower pace, Tip still starts prepping for the walk about 7:30 a.m. The longer the delay, the stronger the encouragement from our border collie. He has a very good internal clock and very little patience.
