Why does my border collie stare at me? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before answering this question, it is important to know that although the Border Collie has a receptive, intelligent, alert, energetic, tenacious, and enthusiastic temperament; it is not the kind of dog you can let run around the neighborhood with your kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a breed of working dog that emerged on the border between Scotland and England as a shepherd dog, which due to its characteristics, makes it an ideal dog, especially for working with flocks of sheep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another characteristic that this particular breed has developed over two hundred years of selective breeding is called herding instinct. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The herding instinct is nothing more than the modification of the hunting instinct<\/a> of the wolf. Border Collies uphold the wolf’s instinct to circle prey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anything that the dog fixes on and manages to move reinforces in this canine the belief that it has moved it so that he may sometimes be able to stare at something for hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read on to learn more about why the Border Collie stares.<\/p>\n\n\n

Why Does My Border Collie Stare At Me?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For a Border Collie, eye contact is key. Well, it’s a natural part of its body language and canine communication.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Keep in mind the Border Collie is very intelligent and that it is through the look that the dog obtains information about who is in charge of the house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Border Collie’s stare can signify the following aspects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. The sense of the owner’s gaze<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The owner’s gaze can become a vicious cycle or have unintended consequences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if you only look at him when he is misbehaving, the dog may learn misbehavior to get you to look at him or get your attention.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

That is why you should have positive attention regularly so that the dog does not attract your attention by generating negative attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This last part also applies to your children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. The leader guides, and the follower watches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you stare at your Border Collie, this in his body language understands that you give him importance in the circumstance in which he is at that moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is advisable to always deliver the “prize” of your gaze with intelligence.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Try not to look like one of the sheeps that HE leads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do not stare at your dog, either to show affection or frustration or simply out of habit; at that time, he could see you as one of the sheeps he leads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Staring is a social challenge for canines<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When your Border Collie does not obey an order, complete it while putting him in position. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if you have said “Sit<\/em>” while you are making him adopt that position, visually ignore him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your dog stares at you and deliberately ignores a command from you, he is testing you, do the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
