Are Border Collies good with kids?

Yes, Border Collies are a good choice for families. When raised with proper training and socialization, Border Collies make excellent companions for children. However, these pups have very strong herding instincts, so an undertrained Border Collie may try to herd very small children. Therefore, it's best for pet parents to start positive reinforcement training for these habits early.

As with any breed, it is recommended that your child is always supervised when interacting with your Border Collie to keep both the child and dog safe. Teaching children how to properly approach and handle dogs is also crucial to ensure positive experiences for both the dog and the child.
