They are capable of understanding many more words and responding to many more instructions. Dogs can even be trained to do household chores!! Hehe, you will be surprised to find out what your dog can accomplish if you spend the time and attention to train him well.
Below are videos of Chaser, a female Border Collie who can respond to 1,022 words – all proper nouns!
Chaser’s owner, Prof John Pilley, is a retired psychologist who spends 4-5 hours a day training her. He believes that Chaser’s ability is not necessarily exceptional. Just like how a child would learn more if their parents spent more time teaching them, he reasons that it is due to the patience and time he had spent on training her. Like humans, dogs thrive on love, care and encouragement.
Dogs will know it if you love them and they will do their best to please you. You may be inspired to train your dog to understand more. It is a great way to improve communication between you and dog. Your dog is your companion for life. It is worth your time to train him well.

Border collies are among the smartest breed of dogs and they are usually used to herd sheep. Dogs just like humans do thrive on positive reinforcement, what the owner did was maximising the potential of the dog.
Prof John Pilley’s hard work, love and much effort is paying off. Not forgetting to mention the intelligence of his companion, Chaser the collie.
Generally, dogs represent faithfulness, justice, loyalty,warm, honesty and courage. They are also fiercely loyal to those whom they love and prepared to sacrifice their lives for those who love them. As proven, dogs are givers of lives and willing to die for the sake of others. Dogs, with their warm, and geniune interest in others inspire confidence and can win good relationship with many. With such capabilities and intellegience and under good loving care, nuturing and hard and long serious training by “Chasers” owner Prof. John Pilley, a retired psychologist, it is not surprising that such an amazing feat is achievable by Chaser. True to the saying of what Alfred A. Montapert has quoted:- “Animals are reliable, many full of love, true in their affections, predictable in their actions, grateful and loyal, difficult standards for people to live up to”.
Wow! This dog is a genius. Border Collies are the most intelligent dogs on Earth. The actions of a dog can be affected by their owner. If the owner is not good, the dog will not be good. If the humans don’t train the dog properly, the dog will never learn.
Dogs are a lot like humans. Children have to listen to their parents so that they could operate properly. Teenagers have to be scolded by their parents so that they do not go in to a rebellious stage in life. Adults have to be pushed around by their bosses which become their “owner”.
