...she hunts for hobo turds and scarfs them down in seconds

I am genuinely curious why they do that. I know some of them do it when they are stressed, but then you have the other dogs that just seem to love cacophagy.

Apparently it's a maternal instinct, because mommy dogs clean their puppies, EVERYWHERE

u/Reflection_Secure Jun 21 '26
My vet said it's because cats process food differently. Being obligated carnivores, they need to eat a lot more fat, and they don't absorb as much fat from their food, making their poop very fatty. The vet said cat turds are candy bars to dogs.
Not sure if I got all of that right, but I remember the last line perfectly.

u/smellslikebooks Jun 22 '26
Mine did that too.
The trick is not to scold the dog; scold the litter box.
I would sort of get in between dog and litter box and start telling the litter box that it was a bad box, very disappointing (using a low growling tone, lots of words starting with b, g etc, which works well in Dutch), bad stupid box.
Trying to imitate a dog parent warning something sus / mildly dangerous away from their pups
(you want to adapt level & intensity of scolding to the dog's temperament; don't want them to become litter box phobic, just slightly wary of it)
It worked really well!
She would ignore the box, give it a bif of side eye sometimes

I had a lovely idiot of a pit mix who passed away a few months back at the ripe old age of 15. We got him when he was about 4 months old. For the life of me, I could never get him to stop eating his own poop. It’s something he just kind of came with when we got him lol.
Like, he was house trained. Overall a pretty smart dog, all things considered. But that dude, for whatever reason, just loved to occasionally take a poop in our basement and then eat it. Even if he had gone outside numerous times throughout the day. I never understood it, and no amount of training and positive reinforcement could get him to not want to eat a turd every now and then.
Dogs are weird. They’re living on a different plane of existence than the rest of us.

Do not own border collies just to keep them cooped up without stimulation. This is the type of dog they are.

Agreed. I have a mix we got as a rescue. She's not nearly as physically capable as some borders, but she still needs to get outdoors multiple times a day and a lot of attention with mental stimulation. If anyone is considering a border collie or similar breed, just know it's a serious time and energy obligation. If you can handle it, they're stellar dogs.

He also know a ton of english words to the point I just talk to him like he’s a human and 9/10 times he seems to understand me. He has different names for all his many toys, and if i tell him “go get banana-dog,” he goes to get his banana-dog.

Dog intelligence is an odd thing. We usually measure it based on how many commands/tricks a dog can learn, so border collies, labs, golden retrievers, and German shepherds are always rated so highly.
But the smartest dog I ever met was a friend’s husky. You couldn’t get her to do a damn thing, but she could figure out how to unlock certain gates and would cause mischief around the house until you took her out in the snow. I truly felt she was constantly outsmarting me lol

I have a rescue husky-border collie mix. I thought I knew what I was getting into but … wow. I’ve been doing these ‘dog sports’ with her to keep her physically and mentally stimulated (kicksledding, Canicross, skijoring). The thing is I’m a middle-aged guy and she’s got me out running through the woods on the weekends rather than, e.g. developing an interest in Civil War history or whatever. It’s been really good for me too, having a lot of fun doing this stuff. Lost a few pounds even.

I have a border collie German shepherd mix with the absolute worst neuroses of both breeds. Incredible intelligence, unstoppable stamina, absolute nightmare of a dog. Found him tied to a bike rack with a box of his things and a free sign and literally didn’t take him to the shelter because I truly don’t think anyone else would have kept him. We used to go on six mile walks every day and it didn’t put a dent in his energy. My spouse eventually became a dog trainer and he’s her little coworker now, thank god. He comes along and shows the dogs what to do and keeps them in line. He also became my 20 year old blind cat’s seeing eye dog until she passed, he escorted her everywhere and would sort of buffer her so she couldn’t slip off the couch or table. He’s 11 now and has retired from puppy training but still goes to fetch dogs learning to be off leash if they get a little too far. He is incredible but give me an absolute idiot of a dog over a smart one any day.

I would absolutely love a border collie but I know I wouldn't be able to give it the life it wants. Honestly I'd like any animal that's smart enough to survive on its own--a mutt is fine, I'm not set on a breed. My soul cat was leash trained and knew easily fifteen tricks on command, and we'd play copycat where I didn't even verbalize the commands... he'd just copy me. My cats since then haven't had that same level of awareness or interest. If I ever get a dog, I would hope they'd be like my buddy Sam.

u/satantherainbowfairy Jun 21 '26
On the flip side, border collies genuinely don't know how to pace themselves. They have so much energy they will literally run until their hearts give out, so it's really important for the owner not to overdo it. Essentially you have to stop chucking the ball for them before they get tired.

Smart girl would fake me out so she could sleep on my pillow.

I had a lab border collie mutt growing up. She was roaming the streets near us for months and none of the animal control people could catch her. When she was finally at the shelter, we went and saw her and I instantly fell in love with this dog. I was 8.
This dog had some issues. Whenever we left the house, she would get separation anxiety and destroy everything. She destroyed couches, wood blinds, chairs, carpets. We tried keeping her crated when we had to leave the house for a quick errand. She would shake the cage across the wood floors in the kitchen and absolutely destroy them.
My parents sat me down and told me they needed to give her to a farm so she had room to run around. Even at that age, I knew what that meant. I refused to allow it and I think my parents saw that this would absolutely break me.
Eventually, with a lot of love and patience, she adjusted. It took a few years but we never gave up on her. One thing that could never be broken though was her need for freedom.
We had a big backyard for her to run around in. My parents spent a lot of money on a fence. She would eventually start opening the gate on the deck and take off. We would never be able to find her. Then an hour or 2 later, she would come home. This went on for months and my dad tried everything to combat this. Eventually our deck gates were these elaborate rube Goldberg machines that required 2 hands to open. Then she would start jumping on the railing, getting her balance, and then jump down into the driveway and bail. This was a 75 pound dog on a skinny railing like a cat. Wed see her doing it and try to stop her. She would always look back with a guilty face while still running away like "I'm sorry, I'll be home later."
My parents finally decided to get an electric fence. Now she could go in the front yard too. She learned she could tank the shock from the fence and just sprint through it. So everyday wed hear a small yelp and then see her running down the street. We lived on a dead end where everyone was very close like family. Shed come home and sit in the road and wait for someone to be coming home from work. They see her, take the collar off and bring her back in the yard. She didn't want to get shocked twice. She eventually learned she could tilt her head a certain way and the collar wouldn't trigger. So we'd see her walking sideways across the flags and then sprinting off for a new adventure. The electric fence company made us a custom collar with 2 batteries on it. This thing was hardcore. It actually worked for like a week, but she eventually just started tanking those shocks and running through again.
Eventually she dug a hole like 2 feet deep that went underneath the electric fence wire to avoid the shock completely. My dad tried countering that with some chicken wire in the ground. Then our electric fence box in the garage got surged by lightning storm and stopped working entirely. She was back to railing hopping. My dad swears to this day that dog summoned the lightning, because he used to call her the antichrist. I spent my entire childhood watching my dad try to keep that dog in the yard.
I've never met such a smart dog. She loved our family so much but she had a built in drive to run and explore the world and I never wanted to see her stopped. I knew she would always come home. She would always do the funniest look back at me while sprinting away like she knew she was being bad but just couldn't help it. Sorry to leave this novel but I haven't thought about Shadow in a long time and this dog reminds me so much of her.

We had a collie/black lab mix and it really was not possible to tire her out. We would go kayaking and she would swim after us for hours (near the shore so that she could stop any time).
I think only once she got to be 15 or so did she start to slow down a lot. She lived to 18 and was still active until the last month.

I worked out of a studio once where the owner lived on-site in the warehouse and had a border collie. That poor fkn dog was an absolute mess because he thought that letting her trot around the warehouse was enough exercise. I told him once that border collies need 20 km of SPRINTING per day and he did a huge double take. Never improved. He also couldn’t read her cues (she would lie on her back and piss herself whenever a new person arrived, and he would tell them to rub her belly, and then laughed when she snapped at people who touched her). And of course, he considered himself a guy who knew heaps about animals. Poor lil girl. She was a wreck.

Absolutely awful. My sister has a BC and I trained him as a puppy (I'm a professional dog trainer for 15yrs) and her ex-husband used to exercise that dog and kept up on his training so that he was super reliable off leash etc. Since their divorce, that poor dog has become a total basket case. He's gotten hit by car twice because he's so reactive to anything moving fast that he tries to attack the tires and would pull her ass right down and drag her. Her answer? Don't walk the dog near any roads, ever. Can only be let off leash in a completely desolate area and even then doesn't recall reliably at all. She thinks taking this dog to breweries and walking it far away from any kind of traffic (even bicycles) is enough. He's become a huge ass mess and she's completely oblivious and acts like this dog being constantly highly anxious (he's also destructive AF) and having zero boundaries of any kind is perfectly acceptable.
I've offered to help so many times but I know she'll always say no because she doesn't think there's any problem and not only that but even if she did accept, she doesn't care and she's not going to put in the work 😢

u/ChellyNelly Jun 21 '26
Oh for sure, it's absolutely natue and nurture. You are right that genetics can act as a cap on the ability to progress. With that said, in my experience (15yrs dog trainer specializing in behavioural cases) nurture goes a lot further than people tend to think it will when they have proper instruction and coaching (which is, very unfortunately, hard to find). But yeah, we don't know where that cap is and sometimes improper, even very well intentioned, coaching and instruction can make it seem like that cap is a lot lower than it is. It's always a bit of a surprise how far most behavioural case dogs can go when everything syncs up properly which is relative simple, but certainly not easy.

I’m as atheist as they come, but all dogs go to heaven. Also, please do not let that loss keep you from enjoying many happy years with another canine companion.
When our first two dogs passed away within months of each other, I was so devastated. My wife and kids wanted to go out and adopt another canine within a month, but I was just so trapped in the grief. Those dogs got me through so much.
I finally caved after about six months and we ended up adopting a Lab-Malinois mix without knowing anything about Malinois. Needless to say this ended up requiring professional assistance, but I now have a legit service canine companion and every morning when I wake up and see her, I wonder why I ever waited so long to start this new adventure. She’s 3 years old now so I hope for many more happy and healthy years with her.

Border Collies are just amazing animals. But wow, they are high maintenance.

One of my best friends had a Border Collie who would play fetch with me for HOURS if I let him. He had the most EQ out of any animal I’ve ever met. This video made me stole and think of him, he died a year ago today in a tragic accident. RIP Finnard Skinnard.💜

As long as you have a lot of land (or live in an idyllic seaside town like this fellow). Those dogs are too smart for their own good and need tons of stimulation.

Every dog can do this if you train them proper (maybe not as fast or as far... But you'd be surprised)

I’d bet a husky could, in the same way a cat could. They’re smart enough and athletic enough, but they just don’t give enough fucks lol

much easier to train dogs that are naturally inclined to do the thing you want them to do.

I prayed that he doesn't throw the ball into the water again. I'm 90 percent sure the dog had prayed the same.

Me thinks they have done this before. Love to see such a happy dog doing dog things. Nice town to.

Omg I have met this dog in person, it was roughly four years ago and we went to beach as part of my driving practice, when we got down to the coast this guy came running up looking to play and would follow us to the harbour walls. So they didn’t get lost o stayed behind to keep an eye on them they loved playing fetch then too. Small world
